Oh, I never knew it was there. Just a one liner interface to groff. I knew there was a package called psroff, I thought you were referring to that. Groff defaults to generating postscript to begin with, so using psroff seems kinda unneeded. I use groff all the time, I know that the mm macros work fine. You cut off your question, so I can't see it to answer it now. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
