I'm looking for information on troff for MS-DOS. I'd appreciate
any reviews of products, cost comparisons, and any comments. The
output device will be an HP IIIP, so additional consideration will
be given to products supporting (directly or via filters) the HP.
I'm particularly interested in PD troff (if it exists) or versions
of psroff or groff ported to DOS and executable on a '286 :).
I know that troff (and vi and emacs...) for DOS is getting to be
a FAQ, so please respond via e-mail and I'll summarize any replies.
Attention vendors (Softquad, MKS--Hello, are you out there?):
I'd appreciate a hard-copy description of your troff-for-DOS
products. Please mail a copy to:

You might try Image Network in Mt. View CA 415-967-0542 They have a product called XROFF. This will work with many different laser printers including the HP IIIP. I have used it for years outputing to a DEC LN03 (I am using the Unix version). They have versions that will work with DOS also. Uses downloadable fonts and comes with the mm ms and me macro sets. Also includes pic, tbl, and eqn, plus documentation. This is not PD software, but is reasonable. -- Onager Systems Ray A. Jones 18710 NE 59th Ct.
