I recently ported GNU indent version 1.1 to Xenix 386.
It works great and is very fast. The troff-mode output produces
illegible code when processed by troff.
Does anyone use the troff output of indent? Is there anything special
I need to do?

Indent's -troff mode needs a macro file, tmac.indent, which is not distributed with the GNU indent. I tried the BSD4.3 indent -troff with that macro package several years ago, and the output was formatted quite differently from the way it was formatted without the -indent option (i.e., the way I wanted it to look), and in my opinion it was rather ugly. So I gave up on it. My guess is that indent -troff needs a lot of work to be usable.

I'm told that indent -troff is broken (and was in the BSD4.3-tahoe version of indent that I started with when I made the gnu changes to indent), so I've removed it from the documentation.
