I have heard lotsa wonderful stuff about Rick's package. However, not for SCO's troff. Jetroff only works with ditroff input, and therefore you need to convert the otroff to ditroff. There is a program in the comp.sources.unix archives which does this (cat2dit), but my experience is that you get really goofy looking output, mainly due to problems with spacing. Admittedly I haven't played around with it a lot, so it is possible that some tweaking could fix it. So, I've fallen back to nroff. I've got a program which generates driver tables for the Laserjet. It is designed to generate tables for a variety of fonts, symbol sets, etc. I'd be glad to send out copies if this will help anybody. -- Chip Rosenthal / chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US / Dallas Semiconductor / 214-450-5337 "I wish you'd put that starvation box down and go to bed" - Albert Collins' Mom
