...and even if yours would, there are good reasons to use TeX on UNIX.

A Berkeley prof and I wrote a book typeset with troff/eqn for McGraw-Hill.
Now I need parts of this --but in TeX. Here at LLL, Lila Chase and I wrote
a set of filters using sed and lex that convert an in-house text+math
typesetter sources (nearly) to TeX. Does anything like that exist
to convert troff/eqn sources (nearly) to TeX?

For that matter, does anyone have ANY info or filters to convert
Wang, Multimate files to ASCII files that can be given to TeX with
a little hand editting?
