| If they are what I think they are,
nroff -ms file.ms
will format file.ms. You would probably want to pipe it
through more (or less) or redirect output to a file
nroff -ms file.ms | more
nroff -ms file.ms > file.txt
Dan
p.s. If an .ms file is not what I am thinking of, this
probably won't make it that much worse. :-)

| Let me amend reply .1 a little by saying that the first step to making
a .ms type file readable is to login to an ULTRIX system. Then do what
.1 recommended, then copy the resulting file back to your VMS system.
Alternative two is to mail the file to someone who has an ULTRIX
account with nroff installed on their system and ask them (nicely!) to
process it for you and send the results back.

| 2265.4 | do it on VMS! | HPSRAD::KOMAR | You can't fool Nature | Fri Mar 02 1990 18:33 | 17 |

Here are some less restrictive ideas:
1. use the NROFF stuff that came/comes with DEC/Shell
2. convert *ROFF files to something else
a) I've got a tr2latex converter from a latex distrbution (From
Theo. Thanks Theo!)
b) [and this is even almost relevant to this conference]
find a converter to ddif, or dtif. There's one mentioned
in the Ultrix (or is it Ultrix-tools) conferences.
3. chmod w+re foo.ms ;-)
-pk.
gotta get some sleep soon...
