We would like to get the source for the nroff macro set for man pages (-man). Is that available? Where? Thanks, Ken Nelson Entropic Research Laboratory (202) 547-1420

The -man macros are part of various Unix distributions and hence are covered by Unix licensing. They are not freely redistributable, no way no how. On the other hand, the awf text formatter that recently appeared in comp.sources.unix has its own man macros, which are almost legal troff macros as well. -- The type syntax for C is essentially | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology unparsable. --Rob Pike | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry

Some kind soul some time ago said that he/she fixed the AWF to work under MSDOS. Could we see the diffs??
