   Since this solution has several drawbacks:

	   No source,
	   Doesn`t run with the latest version of go32
	   Produces incorrect PS output

   Does anyone have a more recent build?

Same people who did that port did groff-1.08 and maybe groff-1.09.
Dunno about the GO32 for more current versions.  The GO32 in groff
1.07 was hacked to permit fork()s, I believe, and can be
replaced with the stock version---it's in the docs.  You can't use
grotty.exe or something in that case.  You may need to stubedit to
allow use of stock GO32.
    Location?  groff-1.07 works fine for me, I don't care---but I bet
it's in the docs for groff-1.07.  Why don't you just get that?
Alternatively, I'm sure I saw the groff-1.08 announement here---go get
//sun.soe.clarkson.edu/pub/msdos/djgpp/djgpp* ;-)

Philip:
    I've never had any trouble with the PS output.  What problems are
you having?
