A cheap hack would be to modify troff by adding a flag to indicate that the source came from a different machine and modifying the way that .so works. - before sending the source to the remote machine, run it through soelim to get as much as you can into one file. - start troff (somehow) on the remote machine with a flag and arguments indicating the machine, userid, and current directory of the submitter. - When .so needs a file, rcp it to a unique tmp file on the troff machine. To be smarter, keep a table of real name vs. tmp name so that you don't have to rcp twice. Of course, this is all easier said than done ... John
