Troff is a different SORT of program than pagesetter. I wouldn't expect you to
do a fancy newsletter with graphics and images in Troff. On the other hand,
I'd hate to enter a book into Pagesetter. It's like the difference between a
spreadsheet and a programming language. You can write programs in Lotus, but
anything complex will be easier in Modula or 'C'.
