[net.micro] Public domain NRO

jordan@mddc.UUCP (08/08/83)

I have converted the NRO program available from the BDS C User's Group to run
on Unix V7 type C - specifically, Computer Innovation's CI C86.

	I'm planning on making some modifications to it to do the special
effects available on Epson and Gemini printers, and was wondering if anyone
out there has done any serious hacking with it, and also if anyone out there
would be interested in a copy when I get finished with it.

	Please let me know via netmail either way.

		Thanks,

				Jordan

I tried to post the source today, but some of the files came across from my
computer to the VAX severly munged; I will try again Monday.
	I have done almost no modification to the source code other than
to change the I/O calls.  Many people have asked if I have modified it for
different printers, etc., but I haven't and probably won't due to the fact
that I would rather use a SCRIBE type formatter than an nroff based formatter.
	I would be interested in developing a SCRIBE formatter if we could
get a net project going - I have to much going on right now to lay out that
kind of time.  Would there be any interest in something like that?

	In any event, I will try reposting the source code Monday.

Several people have sent me messages lately to the tune of "when you get
it done, please post it to the net..."  I already have posted it to
net.sources, but I don't know if it got out.
	I just realized that the version I posted will not work with
UN*X <ctype.h> as it uses a ++ in a macro, which won't work.
	For those who don't know what NRO is, it's a mini version of
nroff.
		Happy hacking, and let me know how you fare with it.
