I'm trying to get a version of ditroff that'll run under 4.2/4.3.
Does such a beast exist?
(I have an old version, but it's origin is shrouded in the mists
of time, and I'd like an newer (hopefully better) version).

Device-independent troff is available (under license!) as part of AT&T's Documenter's WorkBench software. I've been involved with bringing it up on 4.nBSD-based systems, and there wasn't much problem except on machines where varargs can't be handled by the old "all the world's a VAX" kludgery. There are several bugs, however; if you can afford it your best bet is probably to get a supported, enhanced version from some vendor such as SoftQuad in Toronto. AT&T licensing phone # is (800)828-UNIX.

I have gotten both versions (the orginal one that came alone) and
and the one that comes with DWB to work under 4.3BSD. The orginal
version I also had running on a PDP under 2.9 (then we got our VAX).
We also have pic working (but our drivers don't yet support the \D
commands).
