I just received two more of the UNIX Clinic articles from Axel Schreiner.
They are posted in pe.cust.sources in n/troff source format. They run with
the 'ms' macros.
There are two problems I have found in printing Axel's articles. The first
is that he has formatted the articles for European page sizes, they don't
always look so nice on 8.5 by 11 inch pages. The second is that his system
prints most of the article in 10 characters per inch but for the program
segments, defined by the .DS and .DE macros, the system switches to 12
characters per inch. If you are using nroff and your printer only supports
one type size, then some of the lines will be too long and strange things
may happen. The articles print quite well on my Versatec using the vroff
filter for troff.
The Interchange office has all three of Axel's articles in hard copy and
will be sending them out to members of the SIG in a week or two.
