I am a novice UNIX user on a SUN system. I would like to produce
change bars using NROFF but have been unable to do so. The best that I
have been able to do is to surround changes with .B and .R to produce
underlines. I am using the -ms macros. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

About a year ago, a shell script called diffmark was posted to the net. You feed it 2 versions of an nroff document and it produces as its output an nroff document with change bars in the margin. If there is enough interest, I guess I could post the copy I have. I should point out that I didn't write it -- it's by somebody named King Ables, but I don't have his net address. -- Roy Smith, {allegra,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
