Is there a Mac OSX (Panther-Tiger) compiled version of groff available?
Does anyone have a commented version of the "me" macros?

In the distant past I used troff with lots of math and printed on a PS
laser with 8 MB memory and a 16 MHz
processor, without the slightest problem. Nowadays there are lots of
complaints regarding slw printing,
for which HP's panacea is huge memory and a faster processor.
Partly fair enough,
Mikkel,
I don't know about 1.11 but higher versions definitely support
PostScript.
I would be surprised if 1.11 wouldn't.
The inclusion of PS into a groff file seems to be very simple, but you
need to know
at least a day's learning of PS and groff to take advantage of this.

I probably didn't understand the situation to comment on this then.

I haven't, you did. You taught me about this in bits an' pieces a

Doing some debugging, I've found out that .trf does t

If you could manage avoiding ‘cooking’ with a a ’one-part series’
(Schemes 3 and 4), that would be GREAT. Then I would not even mind
if I could not understand its working :-)
Hehe. This would need a new command in groff, and I'm not sure
whether it's worth the trouble.

Development is always a matter of time. As you can see, I'm the only
one basically who does some coding. And sadly, I can't afford much
time for groff these day.

There is perfection in this world. I've perfectly forgot about this.
I am sorry I was pestering you. My apologies.
I worked with eqn quite a lot in troff days of past-not-so-perfect. It
was rather easy to use.
Now I try my luck with groff's eqn and can't get anything going.
A simple groff program like this:
.EQ
x = y + z
.EN
.ex
indicates a syntax error. No matter what is between .EQ and .EN, it is

Ralph,
1) eqn filename -> syntax error "context is >>> x=y+z <<<",

2) grog filename -> groff -e filename

Sorry, after a very long lull I forgot this ..
Did the two-line pipeline I provided work?

I wrote the following:

This is some text.

This is another line of text.
End of text.
End of groff file
I ran the command:

According to your mailing program you are using a Mac. Please look up

Dear Ralph, Werner, Clarke, Ted, Walter, Larry, Stefan, Robert, and
Zvezdan!
I am overwhelmed by your responses to this problem.
To sum it up:
1) With Mac OS 10.5.5 Leopard came the groff suite of 1.19.2.
It works ok except eqn that is not working at all.

Hello,
When one needs to break a long line, the continuation needs to start
at the beginning
of the next line. This spoils the readability of the file.
I would like to have something like this:
