Ahem...how about suggestions of something more affordable? The price to
put EROFF on our HP 9000/840 was so high that we have, for now, scrapped
our UNIX-to-Laserjet plans altogether. 

Anyone have a public domain or shareware 'troff' so that we can try
'jetroff' on our system? (HP-UX does not include troff 8-( )
