- I retrieved the most recent version of the troff version of psfig from the
- net, and have had little success using it with our local installation of
- AT&T DWB (troff, eqn, dpost), and groff is not a happy camper either.
- Has anyone had any luck with psfig and either groff or troff > DWB3.0?
- Does anyone know where the canonical source for psfig-troff is kept?
- There are no version numbers or patchlevels in the source I have, so it
- is hard to tell how old this thing is (The main.c says '86).
- The patches for psdit.c and psdit.pro had to be partially applied by hand,
- indicating that things are a bit out of sync.
-
- Also, in attempting to use it with the Sun distributed troff & friends,
- the sample document seems to be missing oodles of paper.ps.[1-12], and
- the "tst" directory advertised in the README file is also absent.
-
- An email response would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks!
