It need not be fancy (I'm outputting to a dot matrix printer) but it should be cheap. Have you tried Nro? The latest version I know of is on Fish disk 197. It's an embedded control line text formatter (not WYSIWYG) with a macro capability. There's also Proff (Fish 9), and ProffMacros (Fish 46). ProffMacros is two sets of Proff macros emulating (with limitations) the "mm" and "ms" macro sets from Un*x [nt]roff. -- Walt Sullivan 9D35 Carling Mail stop 101 ESN 393-7952 (613) 763-7952 Unix mail: walt@bcarh133 BITNET: walt@BNR.CA
