In preparing some nroff /usr/lib/term/tabXXXX files, I have a need to be able
to embed NUL ('\0') in several of the command and character sequences (this is
for the Panasonic KX-1091i). Unfortunately, it seems as though the strings in
the usual tabXXXX.c files are usually null-terminated and the width
information preceeding them is not necessarily the length of the "Codetab"
character sequence.
I don't have source. Is there some way to get nroff to send out a NUL?
My only other alternative is to filter the nroff output before printing,
but this is sloppy.
Please reply by mail. I'll summarize or forward upon request.
Thanks in advance.
