An erronious fact at that :-( The paper.ascii.gz files are created by: gndrsh:root {579}# make -n paper.ascii.gz touch _stamp.extraobjs (cd /usr/src/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/../../../../contrib/sendmail/doc/op; groff -mtty-char -Tascii -e -p -me -o1- /usr/src/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/../../../../contrib/sendmail/doc/op/op.me) | gzip -cn > paper.ascii.gz gndrsh:root {580}# Or if you can't see it in the above: groff -mtty-char -Tascii -e -p -me -o1- It is created by with groff directly, not with nroff's wrapper. It would be nice if the glitches casued by -e and -p could be fixed up though when the output format is -Tascii -mtty-char. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
