Pardon my ignorance but can someone tell me if there is an NROFF or clone
program out there for the PC? If so, where can I find it and/or FTP it from?

If so, where can I find it and/or FTP it from? I just downloaded NROSRC.ARC from the /mirrors/msdos/txtutl directory of wuarchive.wustl.edu. It has the source for nro, a v7 clone of nroff. Unfortunately the source was written for Computer Innovations C on DOS 1.x, and it took quite a bit of work to get it to compile under MS C 5.1. It now seems to be working fine, though it is still v7, and doesn't handle a lot of the macros that seems to be currently used. Still, I am able to get reasonable man pages out of a lot of the documentation that comes with pd software in nroff format. I'm not sure whether there is a better nroff out there. Perhaps it is worthwhile for me to either upload this one to SIMTEL or c.b.i.p. I need to learn how to do it if so :^) -- John Dudeck "If it's Object Oriented then by jdudeck@Polyslo.CalPoly.Edu definition it's A Good Thing". ESL: 62013975 Tel: 805-545-9549 -- D. Stearns
