- This is the GNU groff document formatting system. The version number
- is given in the file VERSION.
-
- Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn, tbl,
- refer, the -man macros and the -ms macros, and drivers for PostScript,

- the X11 xditview previewer, and an implementation of the -mm macros
- contributed by Joergen Haegg (jh@efd.lth.se).
-
- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. You will require
- a C++ compiler.

- The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to groff.
-
- Groff is free software. See the file COPYING for copying permission.
-
- The file PROBLEMS describes various problems that have been
- encountered in compiling, installing, and running groff.
-
- For the moment, the documentation assumes that you are already
- familiar with the Unix versions of troff, -man, -ms and the
- preprocessors.
-
- The most recent released version of groff is always available by
- anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu in the directory pub/gnu.
-
- Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT; the idea of
- this is to make sure that I have all the information I need to fix the
- bug. At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that
- you supply all the information that it asks for. Even if you are not
- sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will
- enable me to determine whether it really is a bug or not. As well as
- bug reports, I welcome suggestions for improvements to groff (no
- matter how small).
