(It exists in TeX as ## simply \aleph. Is it possible to get its postscript #definition from TeX and use it in troff?). # #The file below prints a line with an aleph just before the word aleph. (some nice troff code and postscript code.) Actually, if you are using ditroff with psdit for postscript output, you can try the special character \(al. If you are using groff from gnu, and grops for postscript output, you can use \(Ah. The sad fact about troff is that there are no standard for spcial characters except for those specified in the UNIX manual. This aleph character is a good example. I'm sure there are other such examples (e.g. the universal and the existential quantifiers). Yuan Liu liu@cs.umd.edu
