All the responses I received via mail in response to my query
about running Ditroff on the Xerox 2700's were pretty well
split on how wonderful (or not) it works.  I did receive a
phone call from someone named Mike Burke (from VLS????) saying
he had the sources or something to that affect, but the message
was so garbled (my office-mate took the message - he's an IBM
weenie) I didn't get a phone number or even an email adress for
this guy.  So if you're listening, send me some mail, please!

I also should have stated that I'm looking for *free* stuff
and not a commercial product.  There are few people here at USC
who use troff and so I cannot justify spending money on it.
I'm really just interested in the device driver for ditroff for
the 2700 and not the sources to ditroff (I already have a hacked
version of those).
