Which ditroff is the best to be using?  My choices here are either the latest
DWB2.0 (which I think is the 1986 version) or one of the commercial providers
(Image Network, which I remember uses its own fonts and thus works poorly
with PostScript printers).  How recent is the Berkeley ditroff?  Does it
include grap?  I know it has gremlin/grn, but is the latest DWB2 one can get
from AT&T better or not than the Berkeley ditroff distribution (which is
also handled via AT&T due to licensing)?
