[comp.text] NeXT troff previewer

gillies@p.cs.uiuc.edu (08/03/89)

I am looking for a way to preview troff output on a NeXT machine.
Has anyone done one of these?  Are they willing to share it with me?  

If not, I considering writing one myself.  I'm hacking around with
ditroff, tpscript, and one of these days I'll start diving into the
NeXT documentation to see what needs to be done.  It is my
understanding that ditroff does most of what I need, and with a user
interface and some code to turn ditroff output into character drawing
commands is the only other thing I need.  Am I sadly mistaken?
