You'll > never guess what I want to groff a copy of... I'm not sure that groff is really ready for that kind of use yet. Personally, I'm sticking to old troff (no, I lie, *ancient* troff :-) with Chris Lewis's "psroff" package which translates the CAT output to postscript, laserjet or ditroff output. That package really is production quality. In the long term, groff will probably become more important, as I don't have pic. But for straighforward tbl | eqn | troff -mm, psroff is easy to compile, install, and use, is well tested, and doesn't require a C++ compiler. Question: anyone know if groff has been fixed to handle -mm yet ? -- ronald@robobar.co.uk +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
