You should be able to get a postprocessor (dimp.c) for the 8/300
and all the necessary files for ditroff from Imagen.
The one that comes with the Berkeley ditroff tape (dip.c)
is for the 8/240 and dumped core on our Sun 2.1 system.
I don't have the contact details for Imagen right  now,
but if you send mail I can send you the name & number
when I get into my office (I'm at home now).

There are programs on the ditroff tape for converting
vfont files to rst files, and they actuallly work.  The
fontmag program for enlarging fonts also works, although
they get kind of fuzzy at large point sizes.

I've also hacked the dimp.c to do polygons, line styles,
and line thicknesses so gremlin and ideal work.  I'm not
sure what sort of license agreement we have so I don't
know  offhand if I can send these to you, but if you're
interested let me know.
