Could you clarify one thing for me:
	You mention "old" troff and "new" troff (also mixing in sqtroff
as a synonym for new troff).  By old troff do you mean the AT&T distributed
version weather or not it is for the C/A/T-4 or device independent and new
troff being the commercially available product "sqtroff"?  I have worked
extensively with PWB 1.0 and DWB 2.0 but have never seen this "new" stuff
and I am wondering where it came from.
