It boils down to two things. 1) Imagen sells the software to use ditroff on the 8/300. It is called DIMP, cost $1000, and there is no educational discount on software. 2) I got a call from a guy at Imagen who has been talking to people at AT&T. From what he's heard, AT&T will be coming out with a new release of the Documenter's Workbench (ditroff and its paraphenalia) sometime around September. At that time, it will have support for the 8/300. So if we can arrange to get that software from AT&T, that may be the way to go. (I personnally would consider this 'rumor'; it needs looking into before I'd depend on it.) Meanwhile, we'll have to make do with what we've got now. Arnold
