+Cawf is a C version of awf, Henry Spencer's Amazingly Workable (text)
+Formatter. (Awf is written in awk and appears in comp.sources.unix,
+Volume 23, Issue 27.) Cawf and awf provide a usable subset of raw nroff
+capabilities and the styles of the man(7), me(7) (only cawf supports
+me(7)), and ms(7) macro sets.
+
+Like awf, cawf is completely independent of any licensed Unix source
+code. In comparison to awf, cawf supports more nroff functions and one
+more macro set, me(7).
