If you want a FREE version of nroff, like I assume you do, ftp to
wuarchive.wustl.edu (yes, it's up, I just got perl from it) and look
under the directory mirrors/msdos/txtutl.  There are 3 versions:
NROFF1.ZIP, PROFF.ZIP and PCROFF.ZIP.  I'm using pcroff now.  I tried
proff and for some reason didn't like it.  Nroff1 is on my disk now.
It accepts arguements to macros (pcroff doesn't) so, I'm going to
look at it seriously.  However, it doesn't support italics so I'm going
to have to patch the source.
