FrameMaker to Unix man page?

Hi Deborah, 

You might consider a two-step conversion process. I *think* that
FrameMaker has some level of support for read/write to DocBook (SGML or
XML... I'm not sure). If you can mangle your FrameMaker source into
DocBook, then you can use the 'docbook2man' program to covert. 

Of course, I haven't done this myself :) 

Good luck!
