They also have a demo which shows you what your system can do once it's set up right, but that's about it. After that you have to buy it or forget it. The Elan product is DWB 2.0 compatible and they advertise it as "lots of known and new bugs from troff fixed in it". It looks very impressive, and if you have the $$$ I'd recommend it. Unfortunately I don't have their docs any more, including their phone number. In fact, I don't even remeber which area code they're in. Howsomever (as Pogo would say), try Unix Review or Unix World or Unix Today for an ad - someone must carry it. You could even try Byte or PC Magazine or PC World or any of the others of that genre as well. -- Mark A.
