Yes the Microport version will work.  At least it has with ISC's version.
I have purchased with my ISC Unix the Text Processing package and use it
every day.

The reason why I know some of the pieces work, is that until I got the patch
diskettes, the ISC tbl program was busted and I used the Microport one until
then.

If you have the Microport tmac.an macro package, I suggest using it instead of
the one that came with ISC.  The ISC version is out-of-date and screws up
when used with a laser printer.
