We are planning to convert a bunch of Micrsoft Word 4.0 files to troff input files. We'd like to avoid having to manually re-do all of the formatting stuff. If you know of anyone who might have a converter program that will do what we need, I'd appreciate hearing about it. P.S. The Mac-based MS-word 4.0 that we have can write out RTF format. It seems that there is a translator already which can convert RTF files to DCA files. So it looks like we can start from either RTF or DCA format files. We still need to get from there to troff input however. -- // Ron Guilmette - C++ Entomologist // Internet: rfg@ncd.com uucp: ...uunet!lupine!rfg // Motto: If it sticks, force it.
