I only called out 2.0 because thats what every troff user *should* have,
and thats what I tested against.  But ".B" being ignored by your troff
and flying straight through into JetRoff to be printed as ".B" just
isn't something that JetRoff has any control over.  And I doubt that
other 1.0 DWB troff's do anything so blantantly wrong, either.

If I were John, I'd listen to the V/AT customers who've clamored
for 2.0 for awhile now, and get somebody to compile it up on the 286.
Its gotta be easier than trying to find, fix, and placate the people
who have 1.0.  And looky here, if you really have b*lls, you can charge
'em a 'small' upgrade fee. :-(
