The current (May/Jun 85) ish of Micro/Systems Journal
has two articles on decrypting WordStar files.
Neither converts to troff; both provide a good base.
One is in C, the other in a Pascal dialect.
To convert troff to wordstar, write the 20% of code that does 80% of the
job by writing an nroff terminal table and a small C postprocessor.
The nroff terminal table emits ^B for bdon and bdoff, \023
for iton and itoff, and straight ascii for everything else.
