Sun Microsystems ships an incomplete troff based in licensed code from DWB 3.2; t doesn't include pic. There is another troff, the one in Plan9, which has been ported to POSIX OSs as part of the "Plan 9 from User Space" project (<http://swtch.com/plan9port/>). It is a derivative of DWB 3.4 and it uses UTF-8 text representation internally. Although it is a source distribution, still belongs to Lucent and uses a license approved by the OSI. (Yet it is a pain in the neck to use.) _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
