Elan Computer Group sells a package called NROFF/PC including:

	Nroff, Tbl, Neqn, MM macros, MAN Macros, Checkmm, and User manual

all for $99.  The code is honest-to-god Nroff, et. al., from AT&T,
ported to DOS (with enhancements for speed under DOS).  Contact:

	Elan Computer Group, Inc.
	410 Cambridge Avenue, Suite A
	Palo Alto, CA 94306
	415-322-2450

If you can't afford the $99, Alan's is a pretty good deal at $30 (besides,
he's a nice guy too.)  However, from our use, it does not appear to be
completely compatible with UNIX Nroff.  For example, AT&T Tbl does not work
with it.
