.... I also like working on my PC, rather than a mini- or mainframe. So why doesn't someone write a previewer to take in an n/troff file and give me a WYSIWYG display? If it can be done in other packages (like Ventura Publisher, etc.) why not troff? -- Michael R. Moroses AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!homxc!mrm

Moroses AT&T Bell Laboratories ihnp4!homxc!mrm A troff previewer called "proof" is available for bit-mapped terminals such as the 5620 DMD. It ought to be possible to port it to a PC with an appropriate screen. Adam Reed (mtund!adam,attmail!adamreed)
