Hi, I hope this isn't old ground; it's just one exit past the FAQ. I don't receive the group, (I do receive news.answers and the FAQ) so if you don't mind helping, please send mail. The addresses in the signature are good. (If you want to flame me, please-don't-but-if-you-must-you'll- have-to-use-mail.) I'm trying to get troff to feed ghostscript. It's a sysVr4/386 troff (ESIX 4.03) and doesn't come with makedev (as far as I and find(1) can see). I snarfed psroff3.0 off uunet, with patches 1-10. There seem to be some missing files in psroff. Several `DESC' files are missing and I can't seem to force it to produce anything that looks like the font descriptions under /usr/ucblib/doctools/font/* (where * is either devaps or devpost ). Does anyone know what I should do next? Postscript being what it is, it ought to be possible to make the fonts generate the tables, but I don't know enough about either Postscript or the tables to pull it off. Or is there another way? -- (This man's opinions are his own.) From mole-end Mark Terribile mat@mole-end.matawan.nj.us, Somewhere in Matawan, NJ
