There are two good places to look:

	- http://fqa.9front.org
	- /sys/doc on a 9front system

I reported the broken HTML rendering of the trof paper to Uriel
on 2011.01.08. We did some preliminary work to try to fix it (it
is currently better than it was before), but I forgot about the
problem and have not attempted to address it since Uriel passed.

For some reason Uriel was going through doc.cat-v.org and replacing
the original papers with HTML-rendered versions, removing the links
to the original versions in the process. I have, over time, added
links to all available versions on some of the pages. The troff one
I obviously missed.

How did you get drawterm access to cat-v.org?

Thanks a lot! That's what I would have proposed in the end.
