Richard goes on to explain the old C/A/T troff vs. device independent troff.

Well, there actually is a Berkeley ditroff.  If you have a source license for
System V Release 2 (and maybe higher -- there's some confusion here) or for
Documenter's Workbench, you can get Ditroff/Gremlin from UCB's EECS/ERL
Industrial Liaison Program for $175.  

The major differences are that it's been reworked to compile and run nicely
on 4.3 BSD systems and to use the 4.3 BSD spooling facilities.  Another 
addition is Gremlin, a line-drawing program that runs on the Sun and 
produces code you can include in your text with a filter called "grn".

If you're interested in this, send me mail and I'll send you more details.  If 
I get enough interest I'll post the information to this newsgroup.
