I have been struggling with the problem of writing nroff driver-tables recently and have received much helpful information from a number of you out there in netland. I am preparing to assemble the useful tools and documentation which I have accumulated, and post them as a package to the net. However, I would like to tie up a few loose ends first. This question is for anyone familiar with the codetab[] array within the driver structure. I have been unable to identify nroff's use (if any) for a few of the "slots" in the array. For the sake of completeness, if anybody can help me with the positions identified with ???? below, I would be grateful. (ie positions: 95, 118, 151, & 211 thru 223). codetab[index] nroff char ============== ========== 0 <space> 1 ! ... ... 94 ~ * 95 ____ <- ???? 96 \(hy ... ... 117 \(sl * 118 ____ <- ???? 119 <unpaddable space> 120 \(*a ... ... 150 \(*S * 151 ____ <- ???? (not Tau) 152 \(*U ... ... 209 \(lc 210 \(rc * 211 ____ <- ???? * 212 ____ <- ???? * .. cont .. <- ???? * 223 ____ <- ???? Please mail any information to me for inclusion with the rest of the documentation. Thanks. ---- Jeffery Small (203) 776-2000 UUCP: ihnp4!---\ C.

I recently received (through the courtesy of Guy Harris @ Sun) table.c and elbat.c and the support stuff that comes with it. I set things up in what appears to be a perfectly reasonable fashion, but when I use the table generated, it takes what should be a ~~13K output file and turns it to something more like 2-5K, max, usually shorter (2-300 bytes) of mostly either 0x30's or 0x00's.
