As for previewing troff output, I've done using the already existing
postprocessor `tc' (which produces output for previewing on a Tektronix
4014) and used VersaTerm on my Mac.
	troff -t (options, etc) | tc
The results are pretty crude as the small character size on the Mac is
proportionally too big and so characters overlap to a degree that it is
pretty unreadable.  I also have Tekalike, but haven't tried it yet.
