Hm, that sounds commercial. I'd prefer a free tool, besides, it should
be fun to write it.

Oh, that sounds good! I thought v7 troff was the first that's been
preserved. Anyone know where to find it?
And most importantly: is the old troff really lost?
The question is how old? I thought we found a pre-ditroff (v6 binary) at
one point, but I don't think we have anything older than that. I would love
to set the manual on the original systems
at some point (and write a CAT -> ps converter, which should be fun).
I'm pretty sure this already exists. It was part of the Adobe
'transcript'
package back in the day.
