Does anybody out there in netland use the `vgrind` program distributed with BSD 4.?. I have some questions: - Is it possible to reduce the length of the text. Our `vgrind` writes very nice looking text, but too much to fit on one page. So some (1-3) lines are lost. How can I avoid this? - Did anybody convert `vgrind` to produce TeX output instead of troff output, i.e.: Does anywhere a program exist, that takes a program written in C for example and a description of the keywords, comments etc. and produces an input suitable for TeX (or even a .dvi-file)? Please reply by mail, since I am reading this newsgroup only sporadically.

So some (1-3) lines are lost. How can I avoid this? As the manpage clearly states (RTFM!!), lines beginning with '.' will be passed unchanged to troff. So to get whatever pagelength you want just prepend a line '.pl nu' to your input file, where n is the numerical value and u de unit (cm|i|u) of your desired pagelength. Of course you could also change the vgrind macro package. > > - Did anybody convert `vgrind` to produce TeX output > instead of troff output, i.e.: This means you need a new preprocessor for vgrind. Should be no problem if you have sources. A much faster (and neater way) if you have Postscript is using your PS laserprinter for the grinding. Just exchange troff for psroff in vgrind. You'll like the output!

Yes, the Unix TeX tape has a tgrind program in C. Ken
