[comp.sys.hp] GROFF doesn't work on my HP 370

mikeg@nagel.gatech.edu (Mike Gourlay) (11/20/90)

Hello,

	In response to A. V. Le Blanc's (zlsiial@cms.mcc.ac.uk) reply in
article 7106 of comp.sys.hp:

	I applied your recommended diffs to my Makefile, and it compiled with
only some warnings (as it did before) except for this time, I had no problems
with etext.  Thanks.

	groff.c compiled correctly this time.  Thanks.

	I installed it and tried again:

groff -Tascii -man groff.1 

	It did the same thing: nothing.  The only thing that is different
between my Makefile and your recommended on is the SHELL.  I don't have bash,
so I used ksh for SHELL.  Is that important?

	I noticed that you have a program called dvi2lj.  I have
not seen that program at any ftp site.  I have seen troff2lj, and a few which
convert from hp format to PostScript, but not dvi to lj.  Could you please tell
me how I can get that program?  I assume it's anonymous FTPable, and you can
just give me the site.  At any rate, having dvi2lj will not fix my problem,
though I would like to have dvi2lj.

	I appreciate your help,
	-Mike

PS:  How did you know how to fix the etext problem?

PPS: Pardon the personal corespondance, but the previous related article did not
end the problem, and the original article was largely ignored.
