The DWB supplied with V/AT is version 1.0 rather than 2.0, and thus does
not work with a lot of the current postprocessors.

There are a number of products available under Microport V/AT, such as
TPLUS, EROFF, and SOFTQUAD; if you are on a tight budget, the best buy
is probably LEVERAGE from Urban Applied Science.

It provides all of DWB 2.0, as well as JetRoff (HP LaserJet support) and
also provides a "Natural Language Frontend", which provides more mnemonic
commands than the usual cryptic *roff requests. O'Reilly's recent TROFF
book (published by Howard Sams) is provided as documentation.

Cost is $175 for both 286 and 386 versions of UNIX; contact John Rosemont
at uunet!urban!jlr.
