Yes, please!
The eqn definitions as they are in DWB 2.0 are unusable with
PostScript postprocessors and printers even generally:
a lot of special characters become bad or unrecognisable.
Well, that is not the only problem with DWB 2.0 -
I wonder when AT&T plans to distribute an up-to-date,
production-quality release. (DWB = Documenter's Workbench (tm),
includes device-independent Troff, preprocessors and some
associated stuff.)
