DeJulio) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: wn -> foo Message-ID:Date: 27 Sep 89 06:28:53 GMT Organization: Chemistry, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 14 I was wandering around in our NeXT machine, which just got 1.0. It's neat! I'm only able to connect to it using a terminal, though (logistics reasons, not technical), so nroff-type things for WriteNow are useful. I've got that wn2troff thing that was posted a little while ago. It's great but messes up sometimes. So, I was wandering around and cd'd into /NextApps/WriteNow.app, and found a little program in there called wn2rtf. You do 'wn2rtf filename', and a rich-text-format file is put on standard out (it seems). This is human readable. It seems that it would be easier to make a bug-free rtf2troff program than a bug-free wn2troff program, no? Also, it looked like it *might* be possible to make a set of rtf macros for TeX and have it just print the file. Anyone working on either of these? Are they there and I just missed them? Anyway, back to perusal of all the new documentation...
