For reviewing C/A/T troff output it might be easiest to use Adobe transcript, which included ptroff to convert from otroff to postscript. Transcript is on disc 4 of Kirk McKusick's CSRG set under local/transcript in source and binary form for the Vax. There's a version of public domain ditroff from 1981 in local/ditroff on that disc as well. Running 4.3 Reno from disc 2 or TUHS on a Vax in simh and pulling the software off disc 4 would cover your bases pretty well. Alternatively, you can also find an earlier version of transcript in binary form on Apple AU/X and a later version from 1987 on Nextstep/Openstep if you already run either of those in emulation. The open source psroff from Chris Lewis is another option, but takes a lot more work to compile. Best, Dan Plassche -- Dan Plassche
