I have made a couple of attempts to preview ditroff output using the tc filter. That is, I have gotten onto a Tek 4014 emulator and executed troff -TIMAGEN file | tc The result is pretty bad. Characters are squished together and the output is only (slightly) useful for debugging. I have tried this both on a Graphon GO235 and an xterm window emulating a 4014, with the same results. Do I need a different set of fonts? If so, which set? The documentation for tc is pretty lousy. -- David Elliott dce@mips.com or {ames,prls,pyramid,decwrl}!mips!dce

If you have a DMD/MTG use "proof"; similar troff viewers are available for Suns too.
