I suggest you look at getting the MKS version of vi for MS/DOS, and
getting the EROFF desktop typesetting package from Elan Software.  Call
Elan at 415-322-2450, or write: Elan Computer Group, 410 CAmbridge Ave
Suite A, Palo Alto, CA 94306.

EROFF runs on UNIXes and MS/DOS.  It is an excellent implementation of
troff with support for both Postscript and HP LaserJets.  I use this
all the time on Xenix.

MKS: 35 King Street North, Waterloo, ON, Canada N2J 2W9.
