CS Dept. Lines: 20 Xref: watmath net.unix-wizards:13646 net.text:458 net.wanted:6627 [] The responses to my request for troff support for the VARITYPER 6400 were completely under-whelming: Only 1. (Thanks David!) The results were that Varityper themselves were working on a device independent Troff filter a couple years ago, but information from Varityper's sales force is that the project was completely dropped, and no such thing is now available. I also had a pointer to the manager in charge of the project, but he was always "out of the office", or "in a meeting", and never returned my calls; So I have no firm information about why the project was dropped, or if there might still be some resurectable fragments available somewhere. Conclusion: Troff on a Varityper? Forget it. (sigh) --Larry Parmelee parmelee@cornell{.uucp, .arpa} {vax135,ihnp4}!cornell!parmelee *Generic Disclaimer...
