As quoted from <20447@netcom.UUCP> by mauro@netcom.UUCP (Mauro DePalma):
+---------------
|  Just posted is an uuencoded, compressed, tar file split into
|  16 parts which comprises 'groff' for UNIX System V/386.
+---------------

(1) There are sources groups for this stuff.

(2) Have you ever heard of "shar"?  Especially since I will have no idea
    if this version of groff is still written in g++ (and hence unusable
    on the machine at work, where gnu ld is risky and g++ and gdb can't be
    made to work at all --- it's source compatible and mostly executable
    compatible but not .o file compatible) until I get to the office and get
    some free time and uudecode/uncompress/untar the whole thing to find
    out that I tied up the modem lines on ncoast and telotech for two hours
    for nothing.

Posting groff was a good idea.  But it could have been posted *correctly*
as well....
