NR is copyrighted by Allen Holub & the manual contains the statement,
"This document and the accompanying software may not be copied or
distributed ... except for purposes of backup."

It's not a complete nroff, although from what I've seen it's much better
than NRO.  It can be had for $29.95 from M&T:
	M & T Publishing, Inc.
	501 Galveston Drive
	Redwood City, CA 94063
