A few years ago Alan Holub wrote a version of nroff--he called it 'nr'--
that was written up and published by "Dr. Dobbs' Journal."  When I got
a copy it was $35 for source and object, including a more complete 
implementation of the 'ms' macro package than *I* ever use.  Check an
issue of the magazine--it ought to be available from them.
