I have been using EROFF on HP-UX systems for about a year now.

EROFF works either with soft fonts or with font cartridges.
It has been very reliable.  There were a couple of occasions when I
called Elan for support.  Their support was always fast and accurate.

The packages do what they advertise.  I have not found any limitation
on the number of pages allowed for a single document.  The largest 
document I have produced with EROFF has been in the order of 100 pages
plus tables of contents, tables of figures, and tables of equations.

EROFF runs equally well on the Laserjet+ and on the Laserjet II.

We have used the bit-mapped mode to produce pictures of raster dumps
from HP9000 systems and from Macintosh systems.  The results have
been completely satisfactory.
