My apologies to umcp-cs!chris for my flame of a few days ago, when I could not get his window package documentation formatted. After some experimentation here we discovered that the message containing the documentation reached here in a damaged state, in that all instances of "\" were converted to "\" by some brain-damaged mailer (very likely ours). This has a tendency to trash nroff macro definitions, among other things. We have rebuilt the file, and now have a formatted copy. Thanks, by the way, to all the helpful people who mailed to me information on how they had sucessfully formatted the message. Without them, I would still be sitting here grumbling into my beard about the garbage being sent on the net. In the immortal words of the wierd old lady, "Never Mind" Bruce Cohen

Gee, your message of apology contained the phrase '... all occurrences of "<one backslash>" [were changed to] "<one backslash>" [by some brain-damaged mailer]...' Looks like the same brain-damaged mailer ate your message too. Do we have to uuencode SOURCE to get it safely through the mails??? =Spencer
