Shortly after I received version 2.0 of Mark Johnson's C compiler,
I went looking for code to compile to test it. One of the things I found
was a PD "nroff" for the IBM PC. It was pretty much self-contained
(didn't rely on esoteric library functions) so it compiled right off.

It seems to work just fine and it includes a couple of .MAC example
files. However, it's smaller and probably less complete than proff.
And, like proff, it doesn't support anything more sophisticated than
a vanilla printer. 

I'll mail it off to lakesys (binaries and sources). Perhaps some wizard 
would like to build on it.
