The 3b1 comes with some dvi drivers for various dot-matrix printers, and groff has a post-processor which produces dvi output. Should work, but I haven't tested it, since I have a HP Laserjet with a PacificPage Postscript cartridge, > ... and will the >current macro packages (mm,mt,man,etc) work with groff ? There are replacement macro packages supplied with groff 1.0. They are: man, me mgs (ms replacement), as well a several macro packages for use with special cases (pic, dvi, postscript, tty output). I just linked the tmac.gs file to tmac.s, to allow me to use the -ms command line option. At least the tmac.gs package contains warnings not to use it with normal troff/nroff. For the other packages, you can use the -C mode (backward compatablility), if you don't need any of the extra features groff offers.
