Hi Arnold,
I was thinking the native makefile would update a disk image, then have

Heirloom's a good starting place.
Have you just tried groff? I'm guessing you have, it produced something,

For me, groff tends to just work.

No, I don't have any kind of SimH setup and that's overkill.
In particular I want to be able to use Git so that I can make changes
if necessary.
