Hold on, there - the nroff/troff support disappeared from *ALL* releases
of System V beginning with System V Release 2.0 in 1984, because of the
availability "as an add-on" of the new "device-independent troff." It was
easier to support (and more profitable to sell separately) this way.

I would blame Bell Tech for a lot of things, but unbundling nroff/troff
isn't one of them.

ps. I'll emphasize that "Elan" has a fine nroff/troff....
