A program called awf > [...] You may also want to take a look at James Clark's ``groff'' in the GNU archives at prep.ai.mit.edu. Groff includes an implementation of troff, pic, eqn, tbl, and the man macros and has drivers for Postscript, TeX DVI, and typewriter-like devices. Also included is a modified version of the Berkeley me macros, and an enhanced version of the X11R4 xditview. It requires GNU's g++ 1.37.1 (available at the same location) or any commercial C++ compiler implementing version 2.0 of the C++ language.
