[comp.sources.wanted] pic|eqn|tbl|troff|..display?

libove@ius3.ius.cs.cmu.edu (Jay Libove) (03/29/90)

In light of the recent post of "pbm2chr" (convert portable bitmap in
to text that come close to what the graphics looked like) and my
recent acquisition of a good set of device independent pic,
eqn, tbl, [tn]roff, I'd like to find some way to get it all working
together - maybe get troff to output pbm?

My ultimate goal is to have two things: one, the ability to
see graphics created with grap/pic/etc... though I lack any
form of graphical display device and also lack printer drivers
for anything but text, and two, the ability to print out nicely
formatted text using troff to an Epson dot matrix printer.

Anyone got back ends for DITroff to do these things?

Thanks!
