Just posted is an uuencoded, compressed, tar file split into
16 parts which comprises 'groff' for UNIX System V/386.
Once installed you'll have groff (version 0.4) a full and
(in my opinion) better alternative to Interactive or SCO
Text Processing systems.
** Instructions **
The 1st part has a very brief description of where this
distribution came from; all other parts contain 2 blank
lines in the beginning and 2 blank lines at the end.
(1) remove comments from part 1
(2) remove blank lines from all parts
(3) combine all parts in order into a single file
(4) use uudecode to obtain, 'groff.tar.Z'
The rest is pretty much downhill.

(2) Have you ever heard of "shar"? Especially since I will have no idea if this version of groff is still written in g++ (and hence unusable on the machine at work, where gnu ld is risky and g++ and gdb can't be made to work at all --- it's source compatible and mostly executable compatible but not .o file compatible) until I get to the office and get some free time and uudecode/uncompress/untar the whole thing to find out that I tied up the modem lines on ncoast and telotech for two hours for nothing. Posting groff was a good idea. But it could have been posted *correctly* as well.... ++Brandon -- Me: Brandon S.
