Has anyone developed the capability to use an epson printer with nroff? I have a Commodore 128 with an RX-80 at home that really doesn't work with the traditional 'char-backspace-underline' underlining technique of nroff. Alternatively, has anyone got a filter that will take such output and convert it to epson compatible output? I'll post responses. Thanks, -- Jim Chappell ...!seismo!vrdxhq!ms3!jrc ISN Corp.

I have some v7 nroff files that may simplify what you wnat to do.. but they are very v7 specific!!.... also, if you are running some version of unix, I would like to see what you find... In general I think the approach is to chacnge the /usr/lib/tab/tabEPSON file to support what you need and then use nroff -TEPSON Thanks, Alex P Novickis UUCP: {ihnp4,ames,qantel,sun,seismo,amdahl,lll-crg,pyramid}!ptsfa!nonvon!apn {* Only those who attempt the absurd ... will achieve the impossible *} {* I think...
