[comp.soft-sys.andrew] Getting printing to work under Groff

wollman@NEWTON.UVM.EDU (Garrett Wollman) (01/19/91)

I am presently working on getting ATK printing to work with Groff.  I
have already managed to get the text portions to work--with a few error
messages from gtroff.  Geqn will not deal with ATK output properly just
yet.

However, my insets print as blank pages.  What I would like to know is:

	1.  In the next revision, can you consider adding %%BoundingBox to all
the PS-only insets?
	2.  What, exactly, are the PB and PE commands supposed to do? 
[Presently I have defined them to be a null aciton.]  That is, what sort
of environment should they leave for the executing program?

It could be that %%BoundingBox is not the problem.
It could be that groff follows a different convention than transcript
ditroff for for the
"The following begins/ends raw postscript that is to be passed verbatim
through."

Read the code in atk/text/txttroff.c: txttroff__BeginPS for some clues here.
