Dr. Dobb's Journal ran a three part article about an nroff like utility called nr in the February, March, and April issues (I think it's those, anyway). I am very interested in playing around with nr, but I'm loathe to type it in. Does anyone have it already in electronic form that they would be willing to e-mail to me? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Tad -- Tad Marko ..!ihnp4!killer!tad || ..!ihnp4!alamo!infoswx!ntvax!tad UNIX Connection BBS AT&T 3B2 North Texas State U.

If you have access to CIS you may want to check for nr. Brian Waters

Unfortunately, Allen Holub says that it is being offered (with source) through the magazine for a fee. It is not available for downloading from CIS and if you see it anywhere else, it must be considdered pirated software. It is not in the Public Domain, It is not ShareWare, and it IS COPYRIGHTED. If it is as good a nroff clone as I've heard, it's probably worth it, though it only has the -ms package. Holub doesn't have access to a "good" -mm on Berkeley, so he didn't implement it. There is more information on Compuserve. Type 'GO DDJFORUM' to follow the conversation. Sorry about the "bad news". It's not too expensive, though. I think someone said in the $20-30 range?
