Well, I got so much help with my mail problem, I thought I would press
my luck a little.

We have the Documenter's Workbench 2.0 for the 3B2. The manual indicates
that the raw output from the AT&T troff is not compatible with either 
C/A/T or dvi, but must be post-processed by a filter that converts it to 
something that can be handled by your printer. It appears as though you
can preview the document by outputting to stdout, provided you have a 
5620 graphics terminal attached.

Filters for two laser printers are supplied (one is an Imagen, the other
is something I never heard of). What I would like to do is find something
that will let me print on an HP Laserjet II. Does any such thing exist 
for the 3B2? Failing that, does anyone have a program that converts 5620
graphics to something that can be dumped to a Laserjet (is this feasible)?

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
