[comp.sys.alliant] Troff/Transcript

     After playing around troff with the Adobe Transcript
(version 2.1) I concluded that the troff provided from Alliant does
not work correctly.  Here is what I did: I used troff with the Adobe
fonts to generate the C/A/T files and transferred them to a non-Alliant
machine and piped them through pscat and got the same results as I
got from the Alliant.  When reversing the process, using the C/A/T
files from the non-Alliant machine and used the pscat on the Alliant,
I obtained the correct output.  The problem was the character spacing.
The Alliant troff messed up the spacing.  Another supporting evidence:
enscript works fine on the Alliant which does NOT use troff in the
process.  Is there anybody know how I can fix this problem?  Alliant
Customer Support told me as what the man pages indicated that troff
was unsupported.  Thanks in advance.
