We just purchased Elan's Eroff with the postscript driver. I have
a lot, and I mean A LOT, of roff documents which use the 'ms' macro
package. Eroff does not come with any knowledge of the 'ms' macros.
My problem is that when I try to print something, using the already
existing 'ms' macro files, the printer returns an error of:
%%[ Error: invalidrestore; OffendingCommand: restore ]%%
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
Of the pages that do get printed, the point sizes are ALL screwed up.
Has anyone been able to get the 'ms' macros to work with eroff?
Note: I am specifically using the thesis mode option (.TM) in 'ms'.
Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, ideas?
Thanks in advance,
