So I doubt it ever worked on FreeBSD. I can see online some documentation speaking about (on oracle website) and even some crazy french website sayin= g it worked with groff, but can't find the file in groff history either Best regards, Bapt --pgnu6d55pr26p3s2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEgOTj3suS2urGXVU3Y4mL3PG3PloFAlizZLcACgkQY4mL3PG3 Plq4hhAA3KefQQxxDrtKhw9sbx4bKku/f0PAjbP/K/cWKcvh/+FRJdKz9fn9KFQK XI8DzyNOIiMn4n680BSa/tGKkNffHBOBfb8zcLd4Nr5XGImLf9bgqY5GktN6bxRP TpjxcZaXTwLpNu4qjLOCDtMt77mPZrW4q7dTHJjOceQW8PwDuW8Y6g7gUXvMpjUw PO+Rcabv0l4aHO5CgwRP8m2H2tNvbEHnY8/T9+hdfh0aD/ZFok/p4CwukWsSS9qk FjP8qiare2k6LyAe8u75vRJMzX1Hh/gFZxp3/jlLUfmw5l3EUTl5c589dJwc0+0o 2Fk8ukc6HOTFr2uonyJ/ig0aY7lhNKYbD9ZMd4QaXd/ngMFLfOILGbmlhmWTHwnc 27qrlyPK9tpnycadGXKvznOZ2rq9VHf3sqcgV9VpuiKKzjIUr73El4e/iFZHHXTK yHySAVA1/tPOHHQGbS9qIs0qftbgEASXBef4rhz7G5Rf3aev4wfK89go7PsE6OoH dn+j17hreOVksHvcC7JtnrcsLB1Ycq2edMz1Ui7zpK/aoWXzQgAYBh9nBUB+FJiL ZbYrvXaXA+vEOrzLD2kgdIIFphjmS3Yu3jk6kuQDc02JjhNB+Hama1b44ToOUL5r dS28KvZ7csnLcCh1kbH6SoULjaQYQeGzAh+lv0bZ0B3etZXj9HU= =4zTH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgnu6d55pr26p3s2--
