What most of us use who can afford it is the SCO Xenix Text Processing system.
I have heard of some people taking other implementations of nroff and
compiling their own TP system, but  there is an SCO supported product that has
nroff and all of the goodies you need.

If you've bought Xenix in pieces, then it's understandble why you don't have
the TP system.  If you bought Xenix complete, you should have two disks that
have the TP system, it's just that whomever installed them neglected to
the TP system.
