James: We've talked before concerning groff, my point being that not supporting ditroff device independant format is a lossage for groff, since indexers and high quality output postprocessors won't be able to be used. I'd consider adding ditroff output to groff myself. I've got TeX up here (but we never use it), and Metafont (which we do use), and put G++ up during a time when it wasn't stable. I'd like to see the source to evaluate for myself the probability of adding ditroff output format. -Rick -- Rick Richardson | JetRoff "di"-troff to LaserJet Postprocessor|uunet!pcrat!dry2 PC Research,Inc.| Mail: uunet!pcrat!jetroff; For anon uucp do:|for Dhrystone 2 uunet!pcrat!rick| uucp jetroff!~jetuucp/file_list ~nuucp/. |submission forms. jetroff Wk2200-0300,Sa,Su ACU {2400,PEP} 12013898963 "" \d\r\d ogin: jetuucp
