Hi,

We have a Diablo 620 that we need an nroff driver table for.
Our machine is a MASSCOMP MC500 running UNIX System III.
The Diablo 620 runs a subset of the Diablo 630 commands.  If
anyone has the file I need, please let me know.

We would also be interested in any other tables for the
major letter-quality printers like the NEC Spinwriter and
the Diablos.

I have information on how to write driver tables.
However, the procedure, under System III, requires a source
file called maketerms.c.  If anyone can provide me with a
copy of this file or even a description of it, I would be
grateful.  It would even solve my problem if someone could
tell me what the format of a driver table is so that I could
write my own program which generated one without having to
have maketerms.c or anything like it.  I can appreciate that
AT&T does not want to release anything that can be
considered a "source", but, surely, it could not hurt for
holders of binary licences to know how to create nroff
driver tables for their own printers?
