Is there any version (even if limited) of TROFF or NROFF for MS-DOS? I've got the text editor VI from comp.binaries.ibm.pc, but it would be nice to have the formatter as well, of course. If TROFF exists, please post it, or e-mail it at the address below. Thanks, Celso Alvarez sp299-ad@violet.berkeley.edu Celso Alvarez sp299-ad@violet.berkeley.edu

A few years ago Alan Holub wrote a version of nroff--he called it 'nr'-- that was written up and published by "Dr. Dobbs' Journal." When I got a copy it was $35 for source and object, including a more complete implementation of the 'ms' macro package than *I* ever use. Check an issue of the magazine--it ought to be available from them. ========================================================================= Hal Heydt | Money is the root of all Analyst, Pacific*Bell | evil--and a man *needs* 415-645-7708 | roots. whh@pbhya.PacBell.COM

Elan sells a full blown DWB with troff/HP Laser Jet drivers, font management, pic, grap, tbl, etc., but it does run about $600-$800. I forget exactly what I paid for it, but I have absolutely no complaints. Elan calls it EROFF. -- John Kennedy | Second Source, Inc. johnk@opel.UUCP | Annapolis, MD

Thanks to all who replied about PCROFF and similar stuff. I was looking for a non-commercial package. End of search. Celso Alvarez sp299-ad@violet.berkeley.edu Celso Alvarez sp299-ad@violet.berkeley.edu
