groff is intended to be a replacement for troff and it does come with a
set of ms macros although since I personally use mm I can't vouch for
how compatible they are. Looking at the groff_ms man page they claim
to be very compatible.
I'd highly recommend obtaining groff and seeing for yourself.
Ralph.
