I would be interested in knowing if anyone has some software to take
some MacIntosh files in either Macwrite format or MS word format
into an equivalent troff document with the appropriate macros?

I think this will be a tough one, because both
MacWrite and MS word have micky mouse internal file formats,
and someone will need access to info on those file
formats, and then write some programs to extract the relevant
information. They are not ascii files.
I know the MacWrite format was documented in a Macintosh
technical note, which you can get from Apple Developer
Services. (If you don't have any luck, I have a hardcopy
floating around somewhere.) I don't know about MS word.
I'm actually trying to track down the same info right now in
order to go the other way. If I find anything, and there's
sufficient interest, I'll post any results. Please let me
know what you find.
