AT&T sells source licenses for DWB, which includes the newer version of troff,
know as "ditroff" (Device Independent Troff).  Many Unix vendors support this
package, and offer drivers for a couple of brands of printers.  The Elan
and Adobe packages provide font files and output filters for Postscript, but
I am fairly sure that they require that you already have DWB installed on your
system, because they rely on ditroff already being there.

For PC's, both SCO and Interactive, I think, offer DWB as an option, and
there are fonts and filters available to drive HP Laserjets, among others.

In particular, I am very pleased with the results we are getting with a
product called Jetroff from PC Research in New Jersey ((201) 389-8963).
NOTE:  I have *NO* connection with PC Research.  This is a free unsolicited
plug from a satisfied customer.
