Greetings-
(By the way, I first sent this to laser-lovers, and was
chastised that they were the wrong place for this question.)
I am trying to bring up titroff along with our Imagen
IMPRINT-10 on a VAX 4.1BSD. I am having a bit of trouble
getting past step 1. (Whatever that is.)
If I do an "a.out -man some-manual-page-for-example | ta"
which I would have guessed would try to give me something
legible on my terminal, it is legible but no horizontal
spacing. If I pass the output through the tc filter which
is supposed to prepare it for a tektronix 4014 and then put
it out on a retro-graphics, again I get it, but this time
the vertical spacing is screwy. Oh well, so I blast right
ahead and try the imagen.
Sending the output through dcan gives me an error that it
can't find RASTERLIST. Was that supposed to be distributed?
Should I say a.out -Tcan ?
If I run dcan with the debug option, I don't get that error
message, I do get a banner page, but no output!
I am a bit out of my depth on this. Can any of you give me
a hint or two?
Appreciatingly yours,

You will need to use the -T option to troff (a.out) to specify the printer type. Otherwise, it doesn't know the correct resolution of the output device. Unspecified, it probably defaults to a Linotron 202. -- Ed Gould ucbvax!mtxinu!ed
