One other package to add to Mark Moraes's posting: Image Network's xroff
package contains a nice troff reimplementation and an X-based page previewer.
The some-months-old beta I have isn't completely stable; the new version is
shipping perhaps as early as next week. Image Network is at 1-800-TOXROFF
or at 415-967-0542 within CA.

(This was the package whose abuse of the X prefix touched off last July's
wailings.)
