I know of no direct readers (i.e. ones with built-in pagers), but I do know
of three roff-type programs around for MS-DOS:
  1) GROFF--supports everything, but takes lots of space and sticks 10 spaces
     at the beginning of each line.  I don't remember where it is, but somebody
     on this list posted it a few months ago; it might be at Clarkson.

  2) CAWF--supports most basic functionality.  I rarely have problems with it.
     Available on SimTel as pub/msdos/textutil/cawf404.zip

  3) *OLD* (V7?) NROFF--not that great, but small; in same SimTel dir.

Speaking of which, does anyone know of an ANSI-aware pager?  DOS's MORE is
tolerable, but I'd prefer something better.
