Elan (my company) sells >TROFF (and the DWB tools) for MS-DOS (yes, MS-DOS) for the LaserJet. Why be so low tech and use troff? Troff is so non-state-of-the-art. TeX is a much better choice for technical document preparation; it has a lot more going for it. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason to use troff is because you can't get TeX for your machine (less and less likely these days). -------------------------------------- rusty c. wright rusty@weyl.berkeley.edu ucbvax!weyl!rusty
