Actually you might try groff (GNU roff), which is a direct replacement
for ditroff, pic, tbl, eqn, and transcript, and is FREE.  I don't know
about portability to SysV, but it's worth a try.  It's available via
ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2).  We've installed and tested
it and are quite pleased.
