I am running v6 (not by choice, by cheapness) am looking for vtroff-like software. I have the Toronto distribution from 3 years ago, does anybody know of problems with that software relating to an 11/70?? Is there any other vtroff software available for v6?

I got vtroff to run on an 11/34 without too much trouble; I think we were running V6 at the time but I don't remember for sure. This was several years ago, and I no longer have that version around (we have a Vax now), but offhand I don't remember any problems except that there was a bug in the font-caching code, when it tried to free up space. That code is probably never called on a Vax because of the huge address space. I think there was also a problem about sidebyside assuming a wide (22") device, but that had nothing to do with the CPU. - greep
