In response to those asking for my source code for troff, etc, I am posting this reply because I have difficulty with mail to some of you. I had requested the source for printer drivers for dot matrix printers, having already gotten the code for troff, eqn, etc. Many have asked if they could get a copy of the source. Unfortunately, the code is AT&T proprietary, and I am not able to release it to those outside the company. This was the agreement I made when I first got it. I am sorry in not being able to help those requesting it, but I can't see risking my job over such a thing. I'm sure you can understand. I understand that troff is available commercially for about $600 in a package call "eroff", I think. I forgot the name of the company that sells it, but I sure someone on the net will supply it after reading this message. If you have a good business application, then it is probably worth looking into. I understand it it a good package. Dan Philen akatt!akguc!dlp

If you have a good business application, then it is >probably worth looking into. I understand it it a good package. I have names and addresses of two suppliers of troff packages for the Unix-pc. The one I use personally is: Tplus(R), supplied by: Textware International P.O. Box 14, Harvard Sqare Station Cambridge, MA 02238 (616) UNI-TEXT The last quote I have for the Unix-pc is about $600, including the fonts. Another package is: Eroff(R), supplied by: Elan Computer Group 410 Cambridge Ave., Suite A Palo Alto, CA 94306 (415) 322-2450 The last quote I have for the Unix-pc is $795. I think fonts are extra. I am not aware of any other companies supplying for the Unix-pc. Forgive me if I left anyone out -- Steven A.
