alright... 

is there *any* type of troff viewer anywhere that i can use on the NeXT? i  
have some troff man pages for procmail that i'm trying to get  
printed/viewed/whatever in some decent manner. thus far i've tried deroff  
(it mangled it), psroff (apparently works best with ditroff since when i  
piped troff -t output to it, the text came out as one big block), and  
troff2ps which (IMHO) is a dog (hey, but it did bold the words that were  
bolded...). I've also tried to put these pages into a library, but to no  
avail. If anyone has any new suggestions or additions to my earlier  
attempt above, please, please for god sake (waxing melodramatic aren't  
we?) email me.

thank you for listening...
