raised these two issues.
Please mail all questions about DWB 3.1 directly to me,
no need to bother the net unless I refuse to answer.

To the best of our ability, DWB 3.1 source is portable
to every Unix known to mankind, including SunOS and
Research V9 and 10. If it doesn't port, it's probably
your Unix that's at fault, but we'd like to know about it.

All existing DWB files should print correctly under 3.1;
it's upward compatible with 2.0 (but not necessarily with
anything the VARs have called troff).

The documentation was sent out in troff format with
the source tapes. Once you have it installed (should
take an hour or so; I'm technically incompetent and
that's how long it takes me) you should be able to
print fresh, beautiful documentation for yourself.
