request for troff

[Dan Philen]

In response to those asking for my source code for troff, etc, I am posting
this reply because I have difficulty with mail to some of you.

I had requested the source for printer drivers for dot matrix printers,
having already gotten the code for troff, eqn, etc.  Many have asked
if they could get a copy of the source.  

Unfortunately, the code is AT&T proprietary, and I am not able
to release it to those outside the company.  This was the agreement
I made when I first got it.  I am sorry in not being able to help
those requesting it, but I can't see risking my job over such a thing.
I'm sure you can understand.  

I understand that troff is available commercially for about $600
in a package call "eroff", I think.  I forgot the name  of the company
that sells it, but I sure someone on the net will supply it after reading
this message.  If you have a good business application, then it is 
probably worth looking into.  I understand it it a good package.
