OK, this is off original topic of search for a micro roff, but:.. Old FreeBSD groff allowed .PSPIC inch.eps 3.04i 0.2c R .\" 7.6c from left, 0.3 width, 1.049i long .PSPIC -I 7.6c point.eps 0.3c 1.049i .PSPIC inc/vsl_logo.eps 6.8c 0.4c ie seperate vertical & horizontal scale factors & offsets. Apparently that full functionality was back in PWB version of some code. The new FreeBSD (GNU) groff/ pic/ whatever only seems to allow a degenerate sub set. I too will be looking around to personaly dump this new .PSPIC & find some old roff / pic filter sources whatever, as soon as I get time to find out what to discard & replace to avoid this crippled .PSPIC - Julian Stacey Net & Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii (Html=Spam).
