[ Mr. Greer's recommendation for Elan was here ]

We have used the DWB package from Textware International with great
success.   The package comes with troff, pic, eqn, grap, a troff to HP
laserjet driver (ditplus), and a "Times Roman" like, a "Helvetica"
like and Constant width style fonts.  It also includes some macro
packages.

We have subsequently switched to Bitstream "soft fonts" from Soft Craft
as we like the look of them a little better.  But don't use any font
cartridges.

Their address is:	Textware International

			lazy)
