According to some e-mail I got, Richard is able to output troff to postscript now, so it's apparently a problem with the man command itself. >You need the TranScript package that Sun sells at a high price, or you can >get all of the GNU stuff (gcc, g++, groff) to do the printouts for you. Or, if you don't have the money for Transcript, or the disk space for GNU (and you need lots!), get thack (Sun 4's are usually C/A/T troff) or psroff. Psroff works quite well on Sun 4's. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Domain: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: ...!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis; Ferret Mailing List: ferret-request@eci386; Psroff (not Adobe Transcript) enquiries: psroff-request@eci386 or Canada 416-832-0541. Psroff 3.0 in c.s.u soon!
