Rich Salz, the moderator of comp.sources.unix, has indicated
that my nroff terminal driver table utility for USG systems is in
the queue and should be posted soon.
To be posted is a shar of the latest version of my nroff driver
table facility, which has been used in two previous incarnations by a
core group of die-hard nroff users. This version fixes some bugs, adds
some functionality, and accomodates HP's latest perversion of nroff.
A brief excerpt from the README follows:
There are two programs in this package. Table compiles an
nroff terminal driver table from source, and elbat, the inverse
operator, de-compiles an existing formatted table to produce a
source. There is also a sample driver source, kindly provided by
Bo Thide', for the HP LaserJet+ using a Math Elite font cartridge.
A man page, a Makefile, and this README file are also provided.
This is version 2.0 of the table utility, superceding versions
1.1 and 1.2. New features of version 2.0 are:
- Support for Kanji characters. There is a new element in the table
called Kchar. This is a feature of HP's latest release for their
9000 series computers.
- A better Makefile.
- A -d debug option for elbat.
- The compiled table should now be bit-for-bit identical to that
supplied with your system, given the same source file. To test this,
decompile a supplied tabfile with elbat, recompile the resultant
source, and cmp the result with the supplied tabfile. This is true
at least for the files on my system (HP9000 series 520, HPUX 5.2)
- Several bugs fixed.
- A man page, table.5

According to the list published earlier by Rich Salz, moderator
of comp.sources.unix, my nroff terminal driver table utility for USG
systems is in the queue and should be posted soon. It is #69 in the
list, and I have seen #58 on bnr-vpa this morning. By the time you
read this, it may be on your machine.
