Hello All,
I am trying to get dformat to work. What I did was this.
I first tried to include an example dformat script into my document. I

(https://troff.org/prog.html). The first example for the dformat
processor. That example has been using inline e

For anyone else who's run into trouble with this, Riz
Hello Dave
Thanks for the information on the # character. Will use that if
needed. But I have solved the issue with the chem/dformat interference
with a script.
I have written an awk script that will make chem only process its own
region. This worked and has eliminated the problems with the other
