[comp.text.tex] Varied formats to TeX conversions

melvin@cgdisis.cgd.ucar.edu (10/31/90)

I need any information regarding any _format_ to TeX conversion programs
available, where _format_ is any of (word processing formats, such as
WordPerfect or MS Word, troff and relations, and any other programs
that people are likely to use in writing and formatting large documents)

One of our scientists is organizing a large group of authors (~22) to
put together a rather large chunk of text (dissertation, book, I'm 
uncertain).  We expect the text that we shall be receiving from these
authors to be in a variety of formats, and we should like to automate
the conversion to TeX as much as possible.

Any pointers on existing software, commercial or public domain, is greatly
appreciated.  Note that the conversion needs to be to TeX and not dvi,
as further revisions will be made at our site.
