- This probably isn't the best place for this, but all there is under
- gnu.groff is bug, and for all I know this may just be a me and
- linux problem. Anyway, I got some stuff from MIT
- (export.lcs.mit.edu /pub/R5untarred/doc/tutorial/HelloWorld) or
- something like that. Anyway, it is basically how to do the
- Hello World under X. I already had this in postscript format so I know
- what it should look like, but when I ran it through gtbl and groff
- I got postscript output, but instead of it being nicely formated, it
- was all jumbled together, most of the text lumped into on huge paragraph.
-
- Is this normal? I used gtbl xhw.0 | groff -Tps > xhw.ps and then
- looked at it using gs. Same thing also happened when I output it as
- type dvi. Can some kind and generous soul please tell me what I am
- doing wrong. Thanks...

- BTW, when I run it through xmkmf (there is an Imakefile) it wants
- to use psroff with the option -ms. Well, psroff didn't really work
- that well for me, and -ms bombs under both, not being able to find
- the macro s. And this is the same Imake.tmpl and stuff that came
- with X. I didn't touch it...
