I realize that the DWB is a valuable product to ATT, and hence its
value-added (cough) price when UNIX distributors pass it on to us.
However, there is a nice package called groff from the GNU folks
that works really great. I'd like feedback from those of you who
are using it to completely replace the DWB -- I haven't successfully
gotten it to do things that the SGI versions of the DWB can do such
as formatting manual pages with the man(1) command. I format with
groff -man -Tascii > catn/foo.n.

Thanks,
