Naron) Newsgroups: comp.sources.wanted Subject: Troff Clone Message-ID: Date: 13 Mar 91 05:37:15 GMT Organization: The City Lights PCBoard - Sacramento, CA Lines: 30 Hello fellow netters, I've been running under a handicap for some time now and I'm hoping that someone out there will be able to assist. I am the System Administrator for a 4 CPU Unix system. We run a rather tainted version of System-V on 4 UNISYS 5000/95s. My problem is this: When we purchased these systems, we did not also purchase the Documentor's Workbench which includes TROFF. Now after a couple of years, I'm finding that this was a major mistake, since I have been collecting and using many of the more useful system utilities found on usenet. Unfortunately, with almost no exception, the documentation provided with these utilities are TROFF files and need to be run through TROFF in order to reformat them into something readable. Alas, we are now without sufficient funds in which to purchase Troff so I am forced to look to the NET to find something that will do the job. If you know where I could find a TROFF clone of sorts, please E-Mail me a note to 'citylite!boydn@sachtoh0.sac.ca.us'. Any assistance would be of major help. Thank you.... Boyd M.
