Overkill, perhaps, but you can get groff from prep.ai.mit.edu
(18.71.0.38).  It's an enhancement of standard troff, has rewrites of
various tmac files (including man) and it's FREE.

There's a catch, though -- you need a C++ compiler, but you can get
g++ from the same site.  G++ needs gcc, though, so you'll have to get
that too.

Overkill?  I'll let you decide, but I compiled all three and it wasn't
really tedious, either.

	   I get so tired of utilities with arbitrary, undocumented,
	   compiled-in limits.  Don't you?
