Since the first request resulted in only three (!) answers, here we go again:
(ihnp4 had problems, maybe this article didn't reach some sites)

We are looking for a textformatter under UNIX 4.2 with typesetter capabilities.
We want:
  - to use a VERSATEC V80 or a HP laserjet as an output device.
  - to have the possibility of adding device drivers.
  - pictures in the text; this is NOT VERY important.

Is device independent troff a solution ?
Which device drivers do exist for DITROFF ?
Is it possible to write own device drivers ?
Where can i get DITROFF ?

	Thanks very much in advance,
				Remco Bruyne
