I have been looking for a troff previewer for the Mac without success.  So
I am posting this request to the 'net.
 
I would be grateful to learn where I could obtain a copy of this software.
I would be even more grateful if sent a copy (from the public domain, of
course) that has been BinHexed.

I want a troff previewer and not a copy of mw2troff because there are somethings
that troff does more easily than MacWrite (e.g. over bars, over tildes,
and equations) and the laser printer to which I have access only supports troff.

For the curious reader, troff is a typesetting programme implemented on Unix.
