If it produces DEC/ANSI escape codes I have a converter that will turn
it into HTML?

Not any version I have ever seen; they all produce plain lineprinter output
(with overprinting for things like underlining). You can of course take the
formatted output and run it through a simple postprocessor like pstext.
Some versions of troff can produce PostScript (current Linux or Darwin ones, for
example) so if you can do runoff->troff then you have a direct path to
PostScript. But you’re right, if someone would offer to run an actual RUNOFF on
the sources, that would be a good approach. I could do it on a RSTS system, which
might work provided the source doesn’t use VMS-specific Runoff features.
