Thanks to a friend in New Jersey, I picked up a copy of a product
called "SROFF". It was sold by AT&T at one time. According to the
AT&T Product Center here at the Labs, it is no longer available.
I would like to locate documentation detailing what the "." commands
are. It is similar to "NROFF" and I have that documentation, but there
are clearly some differences worth knowing about.
If anyone knows of, or has, or can copy a SROFF manual (any SROFF version
would probably do - by any company) please let me know.

If you hunt around on your UNIX mainframe or look in a UNIX manual, you can find documentation for SROFF. I found it on HOMXB and simply printed it out on the xerox. Try "find / -name sroff* -print", it may take a while. This implies (correctly) that SROFF resides on AT&T UNIX mainframes. It was in fact written for that purpose because a small memory version of NROFF was required at some point. Much later, an ATT employee, acting on his own, converted SROFF to run under MSDOS. As such, it is not (nor ever was) a supported product (the MSDOS version) of AT&T and is not to be distributed outside of AT&T. Russ Sharples AT&T BL homxb!gritz
