As I recall, early versions of the DWB package (many many years ago;
I'm not even sure it was called that then) included a brief Bell Labs
memo by Kernighan (?), explaining the ditroff design philosophy.  This
was back in the days when anything but C/A/T output seemed novel, and
called for an explanation.

Recent DWB distributions don't seem to include this old memo (at least
8 years old now, I'd imagine).  Does anyone have a copy that could be
E-mailed to me?  Thanks!
