EROFF can be gotten from ELAN Computer Group, Inc. 410 Cambridge Avenue, Suite A Palo Alto, CA 94306 Phone: 415-322-2450 Fax: 415-322-1915 uucp: {ames,hplabs}!elan!support The X windows troff previewer is also from us; this is what the requester was probably refering to. It's called EVIEW/X. It'll run on any CPU that supports X-windows 10.4. (We're working on an X-11 version too.)
