Fairly nice nroff clone, with a fairly reasonable clone of the -ms macros. However if you want to compile it under Minix, you'll have a problem: the code makes considerable use of floating point and Minix's C compiler doesn't have a floating point library. I suppose you could cross-compile, though... -- Richard Todd Dubious Domain: rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu USSnail:820 Annie Court,Norman OK 73069 Fido:1:147/1
