I received the hello-world tutorial from the xstuff distributor, but it's not clear how to format it. It's also not clear who to ask for help, I get the impression that xstuff doesn't do support. I'm not overwhelmingly familiar with nroff/troff, but I ran it through nroff with no error messages. The resulting output file was poorly formatted. C program fragments were formatted like paragraphs, and much of the text, which appeared to be in separate paragraphs in the source, was all lumped together in one big paragraph in the output. Finally, most of the output text was underlined. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone send me a line-printer (or HP LaserJet) compatible output file? -Joshua Marantz Viewlogic Systems, Inc.
