Linux doesn't seem to have deroff.

Also, if anyone knows where there is source for a working Linux
deroff(1), would very much appreciate the pointer.

 
Maybe because it is not needed with GNU groff because groff has -T ascii
or -T utf8 (depending on which you need) to perform a similar function
(remove roff declarations, output plain text).

That works.  Thank you.
