- Dear Ed,
-
-
- Possible solutions that come to my mind are:
-
- 1) Using a binary editor on Xman to patch 'nroff' to 'groff'
-
- 2) Writing a shell script wrapper around 'groff' to emulate
- the 'nroff' features used
-
- 3) Writing a C program that acts as a wrapper (like the 'cc' driver)
- to emulate 'nroff' when Xman isn't able to exec shell scripts
- (SVR4 can, but as far as I know SVR3 cannot)
-
- 4) You'v got a UNIX system - use it (see above) :-) :-)
-
-
- Hope this helps some...
