: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),

Microport V/386 does not come with the fortran 77 compiler, so you won't
have much to delete in that area. Also, the Text Preparation System (ie
AT&T's Documenter's Workbench) takes about 2.5 megabytes. It contains the
Pipeline Associates Postscript filter, the di10 filter for the Imagen
IMPRINT-10, and the daps filter for the APS-5. The -me and -ms macro
sets are also included, and they seem to work with everything I have tried
so far.

On the subject of fortran, does anyone know of any fortran 77 compilers
available for V/386? I have some graphics stuff I would like to try out,
but alas, its all in f77. I know. I know, rewrite it!
