I picked a version of proff for the Atari ST from comp.sys.atari.st awhile
back, in the hope of having some way of running off documents at home. This
is a pretty darned nice program, does what I want it to.

The archive I picked off the net included part of the source code, but not
much of it, and a document that said it was written in Mark Williams' C.
I immediately noticed that the 'make' file was a shell script for some
compiler other than MWC, and that almost half of the source code was missing.
No biggie, the executable works just fine... With some minor problems that I'd
like to change.

So here's the question: does anyone know where I can come by the latest version
ot the MWC source for proff?  Barring that, is there anyone out there who is
actually using proff that might point me to a source for proff macro files
that will effectively (or even lamely...) emulate mm or me macros? Or, even
more critical, man macros? I managed to find a package that emulates ms macros,
so I CAN work without having to learn anything new and different (shudder!).
Sure would be nice to have the others as well, though...  aTdHvAaNnKcSe,
