While I cannot give any pointers about the Versatec I know of an
excellent UNIX based package for the HP Laserjet.  It comes with the
entire AT&T DWB package (including ditroff) and provides very nice
looking output on the Laserjet.  Features include support of eqn, pic,
and the ability to print special characters (greek & math symbols)
that are not available in the standard ROM fonts.  It will even let
you insert bitmap graphics in your troff file - a special mode is also
provided to handle Macpaint images.

The package is called Eroff and it is available from Elan Computer Group.
Their phone number is +1 415 948 8193 or you can reach them by sending
mail to ...!{amdahl,hplabs}!elan!support

As is traditional in this type of posting I will assure people that I
have no interest financial or otherwise in Elan or Eroff (except that
I like the package).
