In answer to: From: Donna Hrynkiw <donna%envy.kwantlen.bcc.cdn%ean.ubc.ca@csnet-relay> Subject: Need dsun: troff processor for Sun I'm looking for a troff processor who's output can be displayed on a Sun workstation. My boss tells me there has been mention of a program called 'dsun' in one of the 'sources' groups. There's a "dsun.diff" in the sun-sources archives, but no mention of 'dsun'. Any leads to or volunteers for the dsun source would be gratefully appreciated. I know of two commercial sources of troff that include the capability to preview output on a Sun Workstation: Elan Computer Group, Inc. 410 Cambridge Ave., Suite A Palo Alto, Ca. 94306 415-322-2450 Elizabeth Elms Their troff product is called Eroff and the Sun preview product is Eview. Image Network 140 S. Whisman Road Mountain View, Ca. 94041 415-967-0542 Judy Caron Their troff product is called Xroff and their is a preview capability for Sun Workstations. It is my understanding that both of these products are based on ditroff in AT&T's Documenters Workbench. I have not used either one. I am looking for a ditroff that would let me preview output to a graphics equipped IBM/PC. If you run across any, please let me know.
