Does unroff here refer to the unroff built using ELK Scheme? Back in the day I found it quite useful to convert troff documents to HTML. It got around the programmable nature of the troff language by allowing you to extend unroff with Scheme code that would be associated with macros, etc. so you could program the appropriate actions to take when they were encountered. (Last time I tried to build ELK Scheme and Unroff on Linux the unroff didn't work at all, and ELK Scheme had some problems. A pitty.) -- T.
