	nroff will probably still put out the model 33 codes, but there is a
	way around this.

	I have a filter I wrote that can filter the output from nroff and drive
	one of the more intelligent daisywheels (like the DWP IIB or the
	510/520) that supports real boldfacing, underlining, bullets (filled
	bullets !), tm, rg, dagger, and a few other nice things.

	It should be close enough for use with the DMP series too (I have a
	DMP2120 but I don't really use it for high-qaulity output).

	Best of all, its free for that asking.  Just drop me a line and I can
	email the source, Makefile, and manpage.
