[net.text] PIC for nroff

colonel@sunybcs.UUCP (Col. G. L. Sicherman) (01/05/86)

The startup code for PIC includes a gauntlet of conditional parameter
settings for various devices.  This code must be tweaked to adapt PIC
for a new device; in particular, we've done it for QMS 1200s.

Has anybody done it for ASCII output?  That is, for NROFF?  Of course
the \D directives are taboo, but you could at least make orthogonal
lines and boxes with \l and \L.  I don't see any inherent barrier
in nroff or pic to doing this.
