[comp.sys.amiga] proff improvements

[for the bogus "" eater]

	I was able to borrow a friends printer for the summer so I decided
to see what I could get down on paper with NotePad and proff (a nroff
type utility). After two night of playing around I've come the usual
conclusion that I won't waste my time with NotePad (although I do like
the ability for fonts etc.) and just work with proff. I know nroff (and 
variants) so this is no big deal. What I have came off of Fish #9 (I
think) so I'm asking if there is an update to this? I wouldn't even bother
if the ".wr/.write" command worked as it is supposed to. You could
make macros with this command to do what I would want to do (if I get rich
I'll buy AmigaTeX :-)) but it breaks the output line! AAAAARRRROOUUUGGGHHH!!!!
The nice manual says that it shouldn't, and I wish it wouldn't, but it
does. Before I start mucking around in the source I just wanted to know
if anyone else had already fixed it? Please????

Thanks in advance,
