Is there a PD clone of the UNIX nroff program?
I found a reference to "roff", on Fish disk 14. Does anyone know how
well this runs?
Any other programs out there?

Take a look on fish disk 197 - there's a program called Nro, which is an nroff lookalike, which works fine for me. I've never tried roff, so I can't say anything about it. I also noticed that there is the program Proff on fish #9, which is another nroff clone (there are also some macros for it on fish #46 implementing the "ms" and "mm" macros). Unfortunately I can't seem to find a site which still has these old fish disks still around....anybody know where to get copies of this stuff ? stuart stuart@cray.com

I've used proff, and thought it quite effective though limited. With the macros for ms and mm it should be great, but I haven't tried them. Even without, proff does have its own macro building commands, so it would be possible to make most of what one needs. As for where to get the Fish stuff, isn't it possible to order from Fred? Roger
