Some weeks ago, i386 binaries of groff version 0.4, were posted to comp.unix.sysv386. Unfortunately, those binaries do not work with the mm macros. When I reported the error, James Clark <jclark!jjc>, the author of groff, wrote: > I can't reproduce the problem either using the current version of > troff or using version 0.4.

I have also tried Esix binaries of groff 1.0 which were offered by a generous net reader: they dump core under Xenix. Those of us who do not have room to bring up g++ and groff could still use a working Xenix binary of groff, preferably a more recent version. Perhaps someone would like to earn the eternal gratitude of me and others by making Xenix binaries of groff 1.0 available via anonymous uucp and/or ftp. Thanks. -- Ronald Florence ron@mlfarm.com
