Elan Computer Group sells a package called NROFF/PC including:
Nroff, Tbl, Neqn, MM macros, MAN Macros, Checkmm, and User manual
all for $99. The code is honest-to-god Nroff, et. al., from AT&T,
ported to DOS (with enhancements for speed under DOS). Contact:

If you can't afford the $99, Alan's is a pretty good deal at $30 (besides,
he's a nice guy too.) However, from our use, it does not appear to be
completely compatible with UNIX Nroff. For example, AT&T Tbl does not work
with it.
