I have been using EROFF on HP-UX systems for about a year now. EROFF works either with soft fonts or with font cartridges. It has been very reliable. There were a couple of occasions when I called Elan for support. Their support was always fast and accurate. The packages do what they advertise. I have not found any limitation on the number of pages allowed for a single document. The largest document I have produced with EROFF has been in the order of 100 pages plus tables of contents, tables of figures, and tables of equations. EROFF runs equally well on the Laserjet+ and on the Laserjet II. We have used the bit-mapped mode to produce pictures of raster dumps from HP9000 systems and from Macintosh systems. The results have been completely satisfactory. ---------------- Jim Rogers at Hewlett Packard Industrial Applications Center

We have been using Eroff for over 2 years for printing a very large documentation set of a UNIX sw application. This manual set amounts to some 3000 pages, although has been printed in smaller pieces (100-500 pages). We use Hewlett Packard 9000/300 and 500 computers, with Hewlett Packard LaserJet+, LaserJet500, and LaserJetII printers. We make *extensive* use of the table and bit map inclusion faciltity, as well as the pic, grap and eqn capabilities. Last fall we began using Eview on X windows to preview documents prior to printing. The product is outstanding in quality and performance. Elan really has not had to provide support, the product is that good. -Patrick A. McKinley Hewlett Packard Co. / Santa Clara, CA / (408) 553-2906 UNIX: patrick@hpdtc.hp.com
