     I watch that SIG fairly regularly.  Unfortunately, Allen Holub says that
it is being offered (with source) through the magazine for a fee.  It is not
available for downloading from CIS and if you see it anywhere else, it
must be considdered pirated software.  It is not in the Public Domain, It is
not ShareWare, and it IS COPYRIGHTED.  If it is as good a nroff clone as I've
heard, it's probably worth it, though it only has the -ms package.  Holub
doesn't have access to a "good" -mm on Berkeley, so he didn't implement it.
There is more information on Compuserve.  Type 'GO DDJFORUM' to follow the
conversation.  Sorry about the "bad news".  It's not too expensive, though.
I think someone said in the $20-30 range?
