Subject: Who is WS2ROFF.COM author?
Does anyone know the author of WS2ROFF.COM, which has been around for
a very long time and for which there is no source nor documentation?
I'd like to contact the author with this bug report. For those who
don't know what WS2ROFF is, it's supposed to convert WordStar document
files to a format that the public-domain ROFF.COM can understand.

Re: WS2ROFF bug
The "bug" is WS2ROFF.COM fails to generate page commands. It isn't
converting .pa commands to .bp commands. It should probably do the
same for ^L's in the file too. Also .pn x commands should convert to
.bp x commands.
