Psroff works quite well on Sun 4's. Ah, yes, but then the GNU Troff (groff) package gives you additional tools, especially "pic". Also, the new release of groff adheres to the version 3 of the Document Structuring Conventions, includes a previewer for X11, etc, etc. Groff works nicely with 2-up printing tools, too. True, you'll need quite a bit of disk space to compile these tools, but once compiled they don't take up that much space. Recommended. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | It takes an uncommon mind to think of CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | these things. -- Calvin
