If the Sequent involved is running some flavor of Dynix 3.x that
includes Sequent's System V Application Environment (meaning you're
living with those wonderful dual universes :-( ), your system does have
a DWB troff (2.0, I think) installed as the "att universe" troff (and
thus has both troffs, since "ucb universe" troff is old troff).  So,
Transcript is an option in that case, although the installation of the
package requires some hands-on tinkering.  But then, few ports of
anything to Dynix 3.x don't involve at least some tinkering...
