There is also Eroff for Ultrix. Eroff can support PostScript, LaserJets,
and Imagen Impress printers.
----
Elan Computer Group, Inc. sells a package called EROFF which is the AT&T
Documenter's WorkBench (DWB), including device independent troff,
nroff, tbl, eqn, pic, grap, macros, etc., plus bug fixes and
enhancements including bitmap graphics inclusion, and a driver for
your choice of printer (All HP LaserJet models, PostScript printers,
or Imagen Impress printers). Automatic HP Soft Font downloading is
done for the LaserJets. DWB and the printer drivers are also available
separately.
