Does the new nroff Andy posted supercede all previous versions of nro?

I'm trying to look at the man page on my sun386i without success.  ditroff
crunched on it for 2 minutes without finishing and produced over 2
megabytes of output.

I used nroff -man and it seemed to send it into an infinite loop.

I finally found tmac.an (in the nroff.mail) file and tried that -- it
didn't produce anything better than the raw roof file.

Are there any standard Unix formatters around which an handle the nroff.1
man page?

In addition, the MANIFEST page is not accurate -- it probably shouldn't
have been included.

Also nroff2.cdif and nroff3.cdif don't apply to any files in the nroff
directory.

What's going on here?
