[comp.text.tex] Conversion form roff to TeX ?

PPH93@DMSWWU1A.BITNET (Thomas Heller) (02/12/91)

I tried for some time to convert input files for t/nroff, the UNIX text
formatter programs, to TeX or LaTeX. For I'm fairly new to TeX, this did not
succseed very well. Does anyone know of conversion tools to do this, the
inverse of texi2roff?
 
On the other hand I always wondered if it would be possible to write a TeX
macro library to allow TeX to 'emulate' troff?
 
Any help, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
