OOPS.  I have been suitably immolated over this one.  Yes, ditroff
is the only troff in DWB 2.  There was also otroff in DWB 1.  I
forgot about it because I *NEVER* used it.  And yes, pic produces
troff commands that are only available in ditroff.  However, if you
have either DWB 1 or DWB 2, ditroff should be the standard troff
command.  (I think :-) )

Send flames to /dev/null.  Just post the correct information.
