The following is a program that converts from macwrite format to TeX dvi
format. This allows you to print (typeset?!) macwrite documents on a
variety of electronic printers that support printing of TeX output.

It currently doesn't handle pictures (other than to ignore them),
page number, date, or time icons, special characters or accent marks.
Macwrite printing options are ignored.

I am planning to add these features, but I thought that people would
find this much useful in the mean time.

Support for interfacing to IMAGEN software on 4.1 and 4.2 is provided.
This can just be commented out if not applicable.

Thanks to the gentleman that posted the description of macwrite internal
format.

If anyone knows anything about the legalities of using Mac fonts on
an imagen or has access to higher density versions of the mac fonts,
I would just love to talk to you. Currently this program substitutes
TeX fonts for mac fonts.
