I would like to be able to preview my {ps,t}roff documents in an X window, with
the correct fonts and spacings and such.  I am using psroff and the -me macro
package, and I don't want to waste paper.

If there were an "xroff" program which could take ditroff output and render it
in a window, that would be just about exactly what I am looking for.

I am using X11R4, if that matters to anyone.

(Of course, if I wrote papers using -man macros, I could use xman to preview
the documents... :->)

NOTE: Please reply by email, as I do not read this group!

Thanks in advance!
