-Before worying about trivial little things like output formats ask if the
-DWB works at all. The very first thing I tried envolved tbl. The output
-was:
-
- usage: /usr/bin/tbl [-T X] [--] [file] ... [-]
-
-No matter what the command line that's all the output you'll get. A call to
-ISC confirmed that tbl was broken. And no, there is no fix. And yes, it
-will be fixed the next release. Maybe some time this year.
I was told just the other afternoon ( when calling in for the
X5 fixes ) that there existed a fix disk for tbl. The fix disk number
is X1 ( sounds like the first fix disk issued. )
My understanding is that there are currently 5 fix disks, X1 -
tbl, one for floating point, one for some oddball computer, X5 - async,
and one that I can't remember currently, but I seem to remember as
being for X11R3.
This information comes from ISC California. I also got their
usenet support address out them. Since I have never seen it posted,
and I find such addresses rather useful ( always liked that Microport
had one! ) here it is: 386ixsup@ism780c.isc.com or
uunet!ism780c!386ixsup ( my notes say ism780c, but I would have sworn
that she said isc780c ). I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure I will
get the chance in the near future...
I hope this is useful to someone,
Later all,
Eric
