In response to those asking for my source code for troff, etc, I am posting this reply because I have difficulty with mail to some of you. I had requested the source for printer drivers for dot matrix printers, having already gotten the code for troff, eqn, etc. Many have asked if they could get a copy of the source. Unfortunately, the code is AT&T proprietary, and I am not able to release it to those outside the company. This was the agreement I made when I first got it. I am sorry in not being able to help those requesting it, but I can't see risking my job over such a thing. I'm sure you can understand. I understand that troff is available commercially for about $600 in a package call "eroff", I think. I forgot the name of the company that sells it, but I sure someone on the net will supply it after reading this message. If you have a good business application, then it is probably worth looking into. I understand it it a good package. Dan Philen akatt!akguc!dlp
