Talk to Microport.  They sell UNIX, they don't sell DWB (their text processing
package is part of the full V.2 distribution) they don't have makedev
because it wasn't distributed with the V.2 source, and they will have it
in their V.3 package.  Same goes for Masscomp.  We sell DWB related
software -- we have to keep track of what appears in what version.
ditroff and related programs appear in the System V.2 source distributions.
It's not called DWB, by the way, it's just part of the code.
