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.
