I no longer have access to a laserjet :-( There is a dramatic shortage of documentation with DWB but it already exists since 1988 for the 3b1 as is evidenced by the following directory listing: [ureka charlie] %10 ls -ol /usr/lib/dwb total 1024 ---x--x--x 1 root 109152 Nov 8 1988 checkmm1* ---x--x--x 1 root root 25372 Nov 8 1988 deroff* -r--r--r-- 1 root root 706 Nov 8 1988 eign -r--r--r-- 1 root root 647 Nov 8 1988 grap.defines ---x--x--x 1 root root 49284 Nov 8 1988 ndexer* ---x--x--x 1 root root 14832 Nov 8 1988 ndxformat* -r--r--r-- 1 root root 791 Nov 8 1988 nls.map ---x--x--x 1 root root 23316 Nov 8 1988 pages* -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 3806 Nov 8 1988 parts* drwxrwxrwx 2 root users 208 Nov 8 1988 samples/ ---x--x--x 1 root root 62536 Nov 8 1988 sbj1* ---x--x--x 1 root root 22056 Nov 8 1988 sbj2* ---x--x--x 1 root root 19492 Nov 8 1988 sbj3* ---x--x--x 1 root root 15880 Nov 8 1988 sbjprep* ---x--x--x 1 root root 78920 Nov 8 1988 style1* ---x--x--x 1 root root 50544 Nov 8 1988 style2* ---x--x--x 1 root root 41064 Nov 8 1988 style3* ls -ol /usr/lib/dwb/samples total 31 rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1054 Nov 8 1988 eqn.stats -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 2155 Nov 8 1988 mm.letter -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 819 Nov 8 1988 mm.report -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 470 Nov 8 1988 mm.sales -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 1167 Nov 8 1988 nroff.letter -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5699 Nov 8 1988 readme.t -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 368 Nov 8 1988 tbl.bridges -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 390 Nov 8 1988 tbl.language -rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 465 Nov 8 1988 tbl.pres -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Nov 8 1988 testlh.t -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 285 Nov 8 1988 testlhu.t

(I'm using the 3.51 dev set) My /usr/lib/dwb files are all a little smaller (except for "pages") and I'm missing these: >ls -ol /usr/lib/dwb > >total 1024 >---x--x--x 1 root 109152 Nov 8 1988 checkmm1* >-r--r--r-- 1 root root 706 Nov 8 1988 eign >-r--r--r-- 1 root root 647 Nov 8 1988 grap.defines >-r--r--r-- 1 root root 791 Nov 8 1988 nls.map In this directory, mm.letter is 3 times the size of the one I have. Everything else is the same, except what I don't have, which is the following. >ls -ol /usr/lib/dwb/samples > >total 31 >-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5699 Nov 8 1988 readme.t >-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Nov 8 1988 testlh.t >-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 285 Nov 8 1988 testlhu.t So, what's the scoop on this? Are these files from some net package? (groff?) or are they from the troff-expanded dwb? -- Augustine Cano INTERNET: afc@shibaya.lonestar.org UUCP: ...!{ernest,egsner}!shibaya!afc
