I'm in this situation where I have to generate a lot of documentation with the 
unix troff system :-(  I'd like to work as much as possible on my Mac II, so 
I'm looking for some kind of translation system.  The ideal thing would be
a Mac program that reads a troff source file and generates a Postscript,
Laserwriter-printable output file. Barring that, I'd also be interested in
a program that would take a troff output file and translate it to
Postscript; this could be either a Mac or a Unix program.

If you know about programs serving either of these functions, please drop
me a line. As usual, I'll summarize to the net if I get requests to do so
(though it seems I never get such requests - I'm beginning to think all my
interests are highly idiosyncratic...)

Kent's heuristic: Look for it first where you'd most like to find it.
