The reason why I say this is groff just can not produce nice output. Yes it can do postscript, but the output it awefull compared to a good latex page. The way I work it is that I get sgmlfmt to spit out LaTeX and then I hand trim for final release, works like a charm and gives me the BEST output I've seen. Gary P.S. I think it might be a good idea for someone who understands our version of the linuxdoc DTD to write up a basic instruction manual (example.sgml??) as our version is different:) -- Gary Clark II (N5VMF) | FreeBSD support and service gclarkii@FreeBSD.ORG | mail info@gbdata.com for information FreeBSD FAQ at ftp.FreeBSD.ORG in ~pub/FreeBSD/docs/freebsd-faq.ascii
