At long last I've been cornered by someone with nontrivial knowledge of how nroff operates, requesting that I help. So, I've got some homework to do. However, tripping through the code for nroff is not my idea of a blast, so here I am.... The problem is that I need to build the software required to use the proportional spacing of a daisy-wheel printer. That's specific. In general, I want to know how the nroff terminal tables are formatted (i.e., how do I add a new one), what specifically the -T options do within nroff, and what the filters accept for input and do for output. I have seen a lot of such requests going around, so I believe someone has the data I need... I would appreciate whatever can be passed along. -- Lyle McElhaney (hao,brl-bmd,nbires,csu-cs,scgvaxd)!denelcor!lmc
