I was thinking about how nice it would be if I could nroff files without
the hassle of up and downloading them everytime.  Or at least downloading
them, I can make the change on the vax, but printing needs to be done
locally.  Then I remembered that all of the source for nroff is in C.
Well, Gee, isn't the reason d'etre for doing things in C is to facilitate
protability?  Unfortunately, I don't have a C compiler myself, but before
I really pursue the matter, does anyone see any overwhelming difficulties
porting nroff to an IBM PC?  Also, is it legal?
