We are using SoftQuad SQtroff on a Compaq and a Vax 11/750.  I don't know
what it would cost in the US,  but in UK sterling it costs ~700 pounds on
the Compaq and ~1000 on the Vax.  The latest issue was a bit wrinkly on the
Vax,  but nothing crippling.  It supports font selection but I can't say
if there are any limitations because we usually stick to the (cartridge)
default.

SoftQuad SQtroff is available from

	Unixsys UK Ltd
	The Genesis Centre
	Garrett Field
	Science Park South
	Birchwood
	Warrington
	Cheshire  WA3  7BH
	England
