Desperately Seeking ..... documentation for SROFF

If you hunt around on your UNIX mainframe or look in a UNIX manual, you can 
find documentation for SROFF.  I found it on HOMXB and simply printed it out
on the xerox.  Try "find / -name sroff* -print", it may take a while.
This implies (correctly) that SROFF resides on AT&T UNIX
mainframes.  It was in fact written for that purpose because a small memory
version of NROFF was required at some point.  Much later, an ATT employee,
acting on his own, converted SROFF to run under MSDOS.  As such, it is not (nor
ever was) a supported product (the MSDOS version) of AT&T and is not to be 
distributed outside of AT&T.
