Hi (this is a 2 parter),

(1)
I'm using latex and the PD TeXmenu.app on my 3.0 and it all
works great except TeXmenu's spell option.  I see that it
wants to use detex, but that was nowhere to be found.  So
I found it on the net, compiled it, but I always get a bus
error when I try to run detex (I've tried detex-2.3, -2.4).

Does anyone have detex working on the next with NS3.0 ('040)?
If so, please let me know how I can get it going.

(2)
In order to read the detex man page, I tried doing the usual
troff -man detex.1l command, but I get the error:
Typesetter busy...
What's the deal with troff?  I don't see any other troff
process via ps -aux, and I've tried rebooting just to make
sure no weird processes were left around after TeXmenu, TeXview,
etc.
Why can't I get troff to execute?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions - please email me.
Andrew
