Yes, I have had one for a PC for several years although I haven't used
it yet. The package is called "Carousel Tool Book" and works on IBM PC
and compatables. The "toolkit" is a series of UNIX-like tools with one
of the programs being called "format" which is very similar to nroff.
However, you will have to generate some of your own macros to use with "format".
The companys address and phone are taken from the documentation I have:

	Carousel MicroTools Inc.
	609 Kearney Street
	El Cerrito, CA 94530

	415-528-1300

I don't even know if they are still in business...but good luck anyway.
