We recently installed the TeX previewing program "dvisun" on some of
our Suns and response has been good, although few people here are
really using TeX as yet.  Seeing dvisun in action has made the rest
of our users wonder what Sun-based previewers are available for other
text formatters, and specifically whether there is anything out there
for titroff device-independent format.  I've heard rumors of something
along these lines at Berkeley; anybody know for sure?

Please reply by mail and I will summarize.  Thank you.
