I've got a workaround on my systems, but documents are misdated under groff 1.11 without a fix (and I don't know that my fix is comprehensive - I just fixed problems I saw). At one point FreeBSD was making a big point about being Y2K compliant. If that's still an issue, well, groff 1.11 isn't Y2K-compliant and ships installed on FreeBSD systems. If not, I'm apparently the only one using groff to write papers. :-) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ted Faber faber@isi.edu USC/ISI Computer Scientist http://www.isi.edu/~faber (310) 448-9190 PGP Keys: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBOKrkfWlM93/mX/l7EQJLrgCgt74xF9PTUxeInQyvw2DRHM/b62wAn2R2 qIlAa0LJUa9Lo0V5fvTOx0ii =4R1Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
