A very minor correction.  The CAT phototypsetter troff drives doesn't even
exist any more, but software does exist to convert CAT codes to run laser
printers.  The only program I have any knowledge of was written for Imagen
printers (Imagen will have it if they haven't got sick of supporting it),
but I wouldn't be suprised if other companies have done this.

Which is not to say you shouldn't use ditroff if you can get it.  (Or a
more modern formatter if you don't have to support a lot of troff documents.)
