[comp.sys.next] writenow to text conversion

kussmaul@griggs.dartmouth.edu (Clif Kussmaul) (10/15/90)

Thanks to everyone who responded; there are a couple of programs on
nova.cc.purdue.edu called wn2troff or wn2ascii which convert writenow
to troff or nroff, which can be formatted and printed out on a dumb
terminal.

Ref: wn2troff and wn2ascii

I am trying to convert a large volume of Mac Word files to my NeXT.

Is there a utility/filter that I can give a folder of files to be converted?
Word to RTF would be great, Word to ascii, or Word to WriteNow fine.  Otherwise
I have to open each file in Word and then write it out as RTF, a tedious
process given hundreds of files.

Any help?
