In article <8807271425.AA06936@ucbvax.berkeley.edu> UUCJEFF@ECNCDC.BITNET sez:
->Has anyone heard of it, public domain or otherwise?  hacked or commercial?
->
->Jeff Beer, UUCJEFF@ECNCDC  "I shoot first, it is my only weapon against fate"
->                           - says Lemmy  Caution to Alpha 60 in "Alphaville"

there is a work-alike called proff which ain't too bad. i hacked a tmac.ac
file for it which almost works but proff has problems. another alternative
is to get nr (from Dr. Dobbs Journal books), Alan Holub's nroff and port it.
cost is about $30 for src and PC executable.

incidently if anyone has src to proff, could u PLEASE mail it to me. otherwise
i'm force to write my own nroff from scratch. PLEASE...
