"The Heirloom Documentation Tools package provides troff, nroff, and
related utilities.... They are portable and enhanced versions of the
utilities released by Sun as part of OpenSolaris, which are a variant of
ditroff, which, in turn, descends to the historical Unix troff that
generated output for the C/A/T phototypesetter."
There might be something worth cherry-picking. :-)

that's rather interesting! installation is a bit funny: you have to edit
`mk.config' and set lots of dirnames manually (no configure) but then
`make; make install' (you need a ucb compatibel `install') worked
without a single warning (under MacOS, which might be a consequence of
the fact that this is very near to FreeBSD anyway)
try out formatting some documents with groff and this `suntroff' (for
lack of a better name). small interesting differences emerge in the
output (not difficult to find but to spare you the time: the standard
processing queue for suntroff (and ms macros) would be
cat some_file.trf | tbl | eqn | troff -ms | dpost > output.ps
and there is ptx included: is this a good tool for index generating or
can I forget about it (did'nt catch the bottom line of the recent thread)?
thank you
joerg
