[comp.text] Jetroff

Hi all.  I recently got myself a copy of the Jetroff postprocessor, so
I could use my laser printer to do pretty things.  I'm running Microport
System V/386 3.0e with DWB also supplied by Microport.  The installation
process seemed to go pretty smoothly - all compiled well, etc.  I then
tried the make command to produce the documentation which is bundled with
the package.  It produced absolute gobbledegook on the printer.

I've modified the shell script in ...lp/models to support the -otroff
option, and I've set transparency on in the device driver.  My printer is
a LJ clone, but I'm pretty sure it is compatible enough that it isn't the
source of my problem (it responds properly to all LJ commands I send to
it from programs).  I think I'm just overlooking something, but I don't
know where to start.

Any suggestions?
