Is Documenters Workbench 2.0 available for System V/AT? Also, what version of DWB did Micorport sell with this system? (I believe its 1.0 but have not found any proof of that.) I just acquired a HP LaserJet Series II printer and would like to use Jetroff but it requires the DWB 2.0 troff, which I doubt I have. Thanks for any help, -- Bob Willcox ...!{rutgers|ames}!cs.utexas.edu!romp!obiwan!bob Phone: 512 258-4224

Actually, if you get the shareware version of JetRoff and the four patches to it from comp.sources.misc, you *can* use JetRoff with DWB 1.0. The fourth patch contains the fixes for V/AT's DWB 1.0. The commercial version 2.6 also works. Both versions are subject to limitations of the 286 hardware, but as long as you don't try to use a zillion fonts with a zillion special characters you'll be OK. I don't like to admit that it works, because the 286 is such a royal headache, but it does. -- Rick Richardson | Looking for FAX software for UNIX/386 ?????? mention PC Research,Inc.| WE'RE SHIPPING your uunet!pcrat!rick| Ask about FaxiX - UNIX Facsimile System (tm) FAX # (201) 389-8963 | Or JetRoff - troff postprocessor for the HP {Laser,Desk}Jet
