I've been using xroff to produce technical documents.  As far as I'm
concerned it has been wonderful.  However, there is no good graphics 
package that goes with it.  I'm being pushed by higher-ups into
getting a good graphics package in here, and because of that, they
apparently are thinking of going to another text formatter altogether.

Scribe is the current software I'm getting info on.  Can anyone give
me any practical information on Scribe?  Have you used it?  Is it any
good?  Does it have a graphics package, or does it just integrate
other graphics packages that we would need to purchase separately?

For that matter, what is the best graphics package floating around?

Personally, I'd like to find something that would integrate with my
xroff, since I already know and like it.  I *don't* want to go back
to cut and paste, but if I must, I will.
