I know this has been discussed, but I want to know if any
utilities (preferably free) exists to convert troff (CAT) files
to Postscript?  These are files produced by the unsupported
troff that comes with Ultrix 3.X.  The files are intended for
a particular phototypesetter.  Is a version of ditroff available
for free?

I bought Eroff for my laptop PC long ago, so I'm not
particularly interested in paying for a copy for the workstation.
Especially, when I can get a full multiworkstation license for
Interleaf for $400.

Thanks for any info.
