As another retired gentleman, I have considered making contributions to groff; eg when it was orphaned I thought of offering to maintain TBL, which I use extensively (even for purposes for which it was never intended -- such a versatile tool!). Then the thought of relearning C++ was too much... Regarding the addition of real numbers to troff, as I've said before I'm against code bloat, so I say no ... especially as Ted's PIC solution does the job. In addition Werner has too much on his plate (you've been doing this for over ten years, Werner, everyone has I assume read your interview for tug.org with Dave Walden). Keep to the essentials. Denis
