Does anyone know if ditroff comes with the standard 3b2 UNIX? (We have pic but not ditroff, don't you need ditroff to use pic?)

I don't know if Documenter's Workbench (DWB) comes with the standard UNIX or not, but I don't think that you can get pic by itself. Ditroff is the ONLY troff in DWB Version 2.0, and possibly in earlier versions as well. Actually, pic produces troff commands as its output and should work with any version of troff. -- andy sherman / at&t bell laboratories (medical diagnostic systems) room 2h-097 / 480 red hill road / middletown, nj 07748 (201) 615-5708 / andys@shlepper.ATT.COM ...The views and opinions are my own.

If you need DWB, an enhanced DWB w/bug fixes and printer drivers is available from Elan Computer Group. Elan Computer Group, Inc. sells a package called EROFF which is the AT&T Documenter's WorkBench (DWB), including device independent troff, nroff, tbl, eqn, pic, grap, macros, etc., plus bug fixes and enhancements including bitmap graphics inclusion, and a driver for your choice of printer (All HP LaserJet models, PostScript printers, or Imagen Impress printers). Automatic HP Soft Font downloading is done for the LaserJets. DWB and the printer drivers are also available separately. Soft copy screen previewers are also available for the SUN and CounterPoint workstations, and a version for X-windows will be available soon. Please write or call for more information. -- Jeff Lo ..!{ames,hplabs}!elan!jlo ELAN Computer Group, Inc. 410 Cambridge Avenue, Suite A, Palo Alto, CA 94306, (415) 322-2450

There was also otroff in DWB 1. I forgot about it because I *NEVER* used it. And yes, pic produces troff commands that are only available in ditroff. However, if you have either DWB 1 or DWB 2, ditroff should be the standard troff command. (I think :-) ) Send flames to /dev/null. Just post the correct information. -- andy sherman / at&t bell laboratories (medical diagnostic systems) room 2h-097 / 480 red hill road / middletown, nj 07748 (201) 615-5708 / andys@shlepper.ATT.COM ...The views and opinions are my own.
