[comp.windows.x] andrew documentation question

mkhaw@teknowledge-vaxc.ARPA (Mike Khaw) (05/28/88)

In the contrib/andrew subtree of our X.V11R2 distribution, there's an
ibmdoc/andrewguide subdirectory that contains what appears to be parts
of a user's guide document.

As near as I can determine, these are [nt]roff input files, but are
missing some macro definitions.  The "frontm" file contains a comment
that it should be run through tbl and uses the "me" macros, and indeed
frontm formats correctly, but none of the others does.  What gives?

Here's a listing of .../contrib/andrew/ibmdoc/andrewguide:

andrewguide1.d	andrewguide4.d	appendc		page2		toc
andrewguide2.d	appenda		frontm		page3
andrewguide3.d	appendb		page1		rcf

I'm not sure how the files in ibmdoc/andrewguide work; those were provided by
the folks at IBM.  I can say, though, that we're planning to make available our
(the ITC's) version of the Andrew Guide in PostScript form in the next couple
of weeks.  Our guide is different from the IBM version in that a) it's fully
illustrated; b) it contains tutorials on how to use insets and send multi-media
mail; c) it's fully indexed.  So, if you can wait for that, you might want to.
