If I have included tbl commands inthe sourcefile, I include the -t flag, and if it needs the mm macros, I use the -mm flag. The -Tps is not needed, because postscript is the default output format for groff. If I'm trying to generate ascii, I use the -Tascii flag. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
