    Subject: Need dsun: troff processor for Sun

    I'm looking for a troff processor who's output can be displayed on a
    Sun workstation.

    My boss tells me there has been mention of a program called 'dsun' in one
    of the 'sources' groups.  There's a "dsun.diff" in the sun-sources
    archives, but no mention of 'dsun'.  Any leads to or volunteers for the
    dsun source would be gratefully appreciated.

I know of two commercial sources of troff that include the capability
to preview output on a Sun Workstation:

Elan Computer Group, Inc.
410 Cambridge Ave., Suite A
Palo Alto, Ca. 94306
415-322-2450
Elizabeth Elms

Their troff product is called Eroff and the Sun preview product is Eview.

Image Network
140 S. Whisman Road
Mountain View, Ca. 94041
415-967-0542
Judy Caron

Their troff product is called Xroff and their is a preview capability
for Sun Workstations.

It is my understanding that both of these products are based on
ditroff in AT&T's Documenters Workbench.  I have not used either one.
I am looking for a ditroff that would let me preview output to a
graphics equipped IBM/PC.  If you run across any, please let me know.
