Elan Computer Group has three troff previewer products:
1. Eview/CRT for plain ASCII terminals.
2. Eview/SUN for SUN workstations.
3. Eview/X for X windows (currently X10.4).
Each provide page numbering, page breaks, line breaks, etc.
identical to what you would receive on the final laser printed output.
They save a h-u-g-e amount of time!
