I've got a copy of it.  Fairly nice nroff clone, with a fairly reasonable
clone of the -ms macros.  However if you want to compile it under Minix, 
you'll have a problem: the code makes considerable use of floating point
and Minix's C compiler doesn't have a floating point library.  I suppose
you could cross-compile, though...
