i have heard about mroff, but must have missed its posting, appearently.
i'm the culprit who hacked nroff, and am about ready to start version 2.0.
i'd like to take a look at mroff first, to see if it fills the bill. is
there a site where it is available? some hurried rooting aroung on
plains and elsewhere turned up nothing. is there somewhere/way i can
get the src to mroff? ftp is ok. email your response.

(incidently, has anyone even tried to port gnu n/troff to minix? i hear
it needs g++. i have a feeling, knowing gnu s/w, there is not a prayer in
h*ll of getting it to run on the non-386 pc. why ast slavishly lives in
the 70's [ok, early 80's] is beyond me...:-)

thanx...
