889.0. "Official Conversion Tools?" by CLARID::TURNBULL () Thu Sep 10 1987 06:10

    Now that Document is relatively stable at version 1.0, and seems
    destined to become a highly used Digital formatting standard, isn't it 
    time that official conversion tools were written and supported, rather 
    than rely on the various user-created programs we are struggling with
    at the moment?  
    
    There are some pretty good Runoff to Document tools around, but there
    is an immediate need for a good Latex to Document converter (see note 
    526 and its replies).  I imagine that other people would like to see 
    official converters for other formatters too.
    
    Are there any plans to allocate time and resources to the creation of 
    official conversion tools?  How do other users feel about this subject?
                                               
    Cheers, Greg.
