Why did you go to the trouble of building psroff, when groff came with the system? The stuff in /usr/share/tmac/* is made for groff, not psroff, and I'm not too surprised it had some trouble. Groff has several very nice extensions, like longer variable names, that would probably make macros made for groff incompatible with psroff. > > Any easy fix? > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
