Eroff Experience

For several years we've been using a product from Image Networks named
HPXroff.  This product accepts Troff input and will output to an HP
LaserJet or LaserJet II printer.  Very nice, but there is no screen
previewer for a Sun system monitor.

We are looking to put together a package the will accept troff input
and generate output for an HP LaserJet printer, a Postscript printer
and a Sun system monitor.  In our search we came across a product from
Elan Computer Group, Inc. named Eroff.  It appears to cover the ground
we're interested in.

Anyone had any experience with Eroff or Elan? Any other suggestions?

                        Thanks,
                                Jamie Sonsini
