I assume you mean s/groff/troff/. There must have been some public access
to the documentation like this that allowed James Clark to develop groff in
the 1987-91 time frame, though. It's still the *roff shipped with *BSD.
dformat, a pic preprocessor by Jon Bentley that displays bits-in-a-word
pictures, is now available at <https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/dformat>;
it's written in awk.
