Take a look on fish disk 197 - there's a program called Nro, which is an nroff
lookalike, which works fine for me. I've never tried roff, so I can't say
anything about it.
I also noticed that there is the program Proff on fish #9, which is another
nroff clone (there are also some macros for it on fish #46 implementing the
"ms" and "mm" macros).
Unfortunately I can't seem to find a site which still has these old fish disks
still around....anybody know where to get copies of this stuff ?
