[comp.unix.sysv386] Text Processing Pkg in ESIX?

tkevans@fallst.UUCP (Tim Evans) (01/06/91)

ESIX's glossy literature states that "Documentor's Workbench"
is not included.  Just to be sure, does this mean that [nt]roff,
tbl, pic, etc. is also not included?

Yes.  ESIX does not include [nt]roff, tbl, pic, etc.  In fact, it does not
even have man (and the on-line documents, of course).  When I asked ESIX
tech support what to do, the reccomended Interactive's Documentors Workbench!

If ANYONE knows where to get nroff for SysV plese tell me.  I have groff
but have not G++, GAS, LIBG++, etc working-- as groff requires these.  So
if you find nroff that only requires CC or GCC, please tell me.

The best deal I have seen is DWB from Urban Applied Science
(201-242-7230).  About $200 for the whole deal with extensions and
an HP Laserjet or PostScript driver.  I have been running it on ESIX for
a year or more and it works fine.
