Hmmm, now that has some potential.  In the V6 code are drivers for
4014's to do full page nroff and troff graphics output.

Thinking out loud, it might be interesting IFF say groff or TeX
output could be handled in 4014 mode on the VAX.  Groff seems to
have lost the troff 4014 capability.

I do a lot of troff/TeX stuff, and it would be one-upsmanship kooool
if a VT340 could handle the output directly, graphically, rather than
xdvi or such.

Hmmm.... I better browse the V6 tree again......(:+}}...

....

I just did, and a thing called tk.c and another called tcat.c
drive nroff or troff cat output to a 4014 mode screen.

Time to see if I can break a VT340.....
