I'm looking for a few people to alpha test groff, a troff I've been writing for GNU. Groff is written in C++. It is designed to be compatible with troff's macros and preprocessors; it doesn't yet have any of its own. It uses TeX tfm font metric files, and can produce both TeX dvi output and PostScript. So I'm looking for people who: * have the current version of g++ (1.35.1-) working and know C++ (you might be able to port it to cfront 2.0, but I haven't tried); * have troff running, know troff well and have plenty of troff macros and documents which they can try out; * have TeX and Metafont running (you might be able to manage without them if you have a PostScript printer); and * are prepared to devote time and effort to installation and testing. Be warned that there is no documentation yet, so you will need to be prepared to use the source. James Clark jjc@jclark.uucp uunet!mcvax!ukc!jclark!jjc
