[comp.sys.sgi] Availability of ditroff

russell@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz (06/12/90)

Where can I get ditroff ( device independent troff)? We have just got the
Documenters Workbench and I have discovered that I now need Transcript to get
output onto our Laser Writer. I have the source for a ditroff -> PS converter
and thought that might be cheaper and quicker than getting Transcript.
(It took nearly 3 months to get DWB! and now I find I still can't use it!)

Thanks, Russell.

If you bought dwb from Silicon Graphics you already have ditroff.

The price of Transcript is governed largely by Adobe's licensing fees.
