Does anyone know of a freely available version of nroff with source code? I do
not run under Unix, but am constantly porting Unix source code form
comp.sources.unix, etc., to MSDOS and VAX/VMS, but can never read the manuals !

They always seem to be distributed in n/troff format, usually requiring not
only the ms macros but also pic and tbl as well ! Needless to say this drives
me nuts, trying to read them manually !

Anyone out there know how to save my sanity ?

Regards ... David
