Yes, but it appears to just be another application wrapper around the "rofftext" object, just as "rofftext" itself is. However, while toez -ms worked OK ( being the slice of the input file you provided), "rofftext -t -ms " didn't. Furthermore, neither "rofftext" *nor* "toez" did anything with the following: -------------------------------Cut Here---------------------------------------- .LP The Xmu Library is a collection of miscellaneous (some might say random) utility functions that have been useful in building various applications and widgets.
