   net.text.* seems to be the best way to go for a text-processor
newsgroup, as Mark Horton suggested (and did).  I think that ditroff
(sorry, I somehow like this better than titroff, but maybe we should
use Ma Bell's name) should be a separate subgroup, UNLESS people will
be diligent about giving USEFUL KEYWORDS IN THE TITLE.
   To start things off -- any thoughts about how a Versatec driver
should be implemented?  My thoughts were to put troff output into
/usr/spool/vpd, and implement the driver as a vpf-like filter for the
vpd daemon.
   Ma Bell may call it titroff, but it's obvious that we're going to
end up a long way from the do-it-yourself kit she provided.
