There is at least on place that can handle ditroff'ed files, after a fashion: Typeline 170 State St. Teaneck, NJ 07666 201-837-9839 We've done books and a journal through them (yes, ditroff), and they've done a great job. They have 800 numbers for xmodem transfer (nope, no UUCP yet, we're working on them) and next-day turnaround. They can provide you with ditroff font-width tables for their printer (a Linotronic 100 typesetter running PostScript). They filter the output through our ditroff->PostScript software (devps). If you call them, ask for Bob and give him my name. Another place you may want to look into is O'Reilly and Associates 171 Jackson St Newton, MA 02159 617-527-4210 (This address may be a little out-of-date) O'Reilly is planning on getting a Lino 100 as well, and they have our software. They can also provide you with the width tables for PostScript. Pat Wood Pipeline Associates, Inc. bellcore!phw5!phw (Ignore the return address on this msg.)

These folks do production photo-typesetting from troff/nroff/ditroff input on a CompuGraphic 8400, including many textbooks for major publishers: Unicomp 307 Big Horn Ridge Road NE Albuquerque, NM 87122 (505)275-0800 {ucbvax,gatech}!unmvax!brainerd {cmcl2,ihnp4}!lanl!unm-la!brainerd brainerd%unm-la@lanl.ARPA -- Jay Plett UUCP: {cmcl2,ihnp4}!lanl!unm-la!jay {ucbvax,gatech}!unmvax!unm-la!jay ARPA: jxyp@lanl

Not a silly question, I too am curious about how many typesetting houses do. We've been using that since unix was a wee tot, with ditroff earlier and sqtroff now on a Lino 101 with emulation proofs on a laserwriter plus. We find that all works quite smoothly.
