There is at least on place that can handle ditroff'ed files, after a
fashion:
	Typeline
	170 State St.
	Teaneck, NJ 07666
	201-837-9839
We've done books and a journal through them (yes, ditroff), and they've
done a great job.  They have 800 numbers for xmodem transfer (nope, no
UUCP yet, we're working on them) and next-day turnaround.  They can
provide you with ditroff font-width tables for their printer (a Linotronic
100 typesetter running PostScript).  They filter the output through our
ditroff->PostScript software (devps).  If you call them, ask for Bob and
give him my name.

Another place you may want to look into is
	O'Reilly and Associates
	171 Jackson St
	Newton, MA 02159
	617-527-4210
	(This address may be a little out-of-date)
O'Reilly is planning on getting a Lino 100 as well, and they have our
software.  They can also provide you with the width tables for PostScript.
