Thanks for your note on ditroff. I have seen references to this in other articles. *I'm sold!* Now for the $64K question ... how do I get one? Is source (including drivers) available to those of us unfortunate enough not to have source UN*X licenses? I have a SUN 2/120 running 4.2bsd. Can you post ditroff to net.sources; send me one directly; or at least send me the man entries so that I can plead with Sun to include it in their next "official" release.

[] Unfortunatel, ditroff is a product sold by AT&T and licensed by them. It's been bundled into a package call "Documentor's Workbench" and costs about $7K. If you have a license, I believe that at UCBezerkeley they have a version of it that runs on their systems. They may be prevailed to give you their BSD modified version. (However, I don't believe we had any problems porting it to BSD.) -- David C.
