We have been using Eroff for over 2 years for printing a very large
documentation set of a UNIX sw application.  This manual set amounts to
some 3000 pages, although has been printed in smaller pieces (100-500
pages).  We use Hewlett Packard 9000/300 and 500 computers, with Hewlett
Packard LaserJet+, LaserJet500, and LaserJetII printers.

We make *extensive* use of the table and bit map inclusion faciltity, as
well as the pic, grap and eqn capabilities.  Last fall we began using Eview
on X windows to preview documents prior to printing.

The product is outstanding in quality and performance.  Elan really has not
had to provide support, the product is that good.
