******************************************************************** Howdy folks, Does anyone have a TROFF previewer working? I think I need a 'makedev' program. I have just finished building the GNU GROFF package on our VAX and now I am having problems with the previewer, 'gxditview', that comes with GROFF. It is a modified (?) version of the MIT core client 'xditview'. I am having the same problem with 'gxditview' as I was with 'xditview' and 'xtroff' and 'xproof'. All of these programs expect a DESC.out file along with .out files for each font in the different device directories. We don't have a computer with DWB and I haven't ever seen 'makedev' go by on the net. Could someone point me to a 'makedev' program? Could the compiled device files be included in one of these previewers? Has anyone without DWB been able to get a previewer to work? As always, many thanks, Daniel Poirot poirot@aio.jsc.jesnet.nasa.gov Lockheed C07A "The mind is a terrable thing." 2400 NASA Rd. 1 tel: (713)483-2426 Houston, TX 77058 fax: (713)483-6120
