Thanks for your note on ditroff.  I have seen references to this
in other articles.  *I'm sold!* Now for the $64K question ... how do I get one?
Is source (including drivers) available to those of us unfortunate
enough not to have source UN*X licenses?

I have a SUN 2/120 running 4.2bsd.  Can you post ditroff to net.sources;
send me one directly; or at least send me the man entries so that I
can plead with Sun to include it in their next "official" release.

Thanks for your help,
Mike
