I don't have ditroff (i even don't know were to get it ...:-) and have till now no big success in printing with groff - text prints fine, but (at the moment) it will print only 1 (one) zip in addition to the text, and no raster at all - it stays difficult. I remember (may be it's a halucination) someone from the ITC say, that they are planning to do direct PostScript...sigh About the postscript object i thought a lot, since i read about this in the ATUG papers... ...time, where is it ? At the moment i REALLY would like to get Interleaf a kick and use ez instead, but how to print ? Where to get the ditroff and this piece of software from Adobe for a DECstation or VAXstation ? How to change the ATK, so i could print an ez document with zips and rasters and tables and so on ?? May be the usage of TeX as an intermediate medium isn't as bad as you told, because we could get eqs to print ? Sorry for the long posting, Juergen P.S.: Don't let me be misunderstood, ATK is IMHO the best Toolkit for X, and we do a lot of programming with it. But it would be the VERY BEST, if we could give it to all our staff and our students to do their daily work... sigh
