I wouldn't mind running a file through runoff either, or building the
Pascal code that was mentioned. It would be a good excuse to do something
with one of my machines.

Fancy that. So you
might dig up a troff manual (here?s one: http://www.troff.org/54.pdf)
and convert to that. It looks like that wouldn?t be hard.
runoff is pretty simple, so a converter shouldn't be hard to do. You
might look for Unix roff, which begat nroff/troff.
