Elan Computer Group has three troff previewer products:

    1. Eview/CRT for plain ASCII terminals.
    2. Eview/SUN for SUN workstations.
    3. Eview/X for X windows (currently X10.4).

Each provide page numbering, page breaks, line breaks, etc. 
identical to what you would receive on the final laser printed output.
They save a h-u-g-e amount of time!
