We use devps from Pipeline Associates (39 E. 12th Street, New York, NY 10003
   (212) 598-4650 or bellcore!phw5!pat) ....$495 for source license
   We used devps to typeset our book on troff and were very
   happy with the results.

Adobe Systems in Palo Alto, producers of PostScript, have
     their own package, called TranScript.  .... $1495 for
     source license; binaries only on VAX and 3B2

A company called Elan, somewhere out in the Bay Area, has a
package, but we don't know it.

SoftQuad in Toronto has an enhanced version of troff called
sqtroff that can produce PostScript.  I'm not sure that you
can buy the PostScript driver separately from sqtroff.
