In reply to a question about "...put formatted documents on the screen in
a suntools environment??" our moderator says:

suntroff is available on the 1987 SUG tape.  According to the README:

This directory contains a Device Independent Troff previewer for a
Sun workstation.  It is based on a previewer originally written by
David Slattengren (Berkeley) and Rich Hyde (Purdue) and was nearly
all rewritten by Malcolm Slaney (Schlumberger Palo Alto Research).

I'd also be interested if a troff (as opposed to ditroff) previewer is
available.
