I've got nroff on my SysIII Unix system which uses "-Ttermname" to look
up the output device characteristics of a printer, however none of the
files in /usr/lib/term are appropriate for any of the printers or terminals
that I have connected.  I would like to generate nroff tables for other
devices, but there is no documentation on or with my system that explains
the format of the files in /usr/lib/term.  I believe that I've seen mention
of some nroff table "compilers" before.  Can anyone point me to (or mail me)
one of these compilers (if it is PD)?  It would be nice if I had a ditroff
on this system, but I don't, so nroff tables will have to do.

Thanks in advance --
