I think this is finally the end of troff.  Hallelujah!  Thank you
AT&T for finally driving a stake through its heart.

Here are your choices:

	DWB 3.1 (with Picasso)		$30,000
	Frame 2.1 (graphics included)	$ 2,500

Admittedly DWB 3.1 includes source, but who needs source if you
have support?  It's hard to imagine that any troff VAR would sell
DWB 3.1 for significantly less than $2,500-- they don't now.  So
when Frame comes out with a great table package, what advantage
could troff offer?  A rebarbative input syntax, perhaps?
