1More stuff for groff 2==================== 3 4Windows 32 5---------- 6 7Here two ports using the gcc compiler and other GNU tools: 8 9. Cygwin: 10 11 http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ 12 13 Look for a convenient mirror site in 14 15 http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html 16 17 At any of those mirrors, groff can be found in the directory 18 latest/groff. 19 20. Kees Zeelenberg <c.zeelenberg@hccnet.nl>: 21 22 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groffl.htm 23 24 This port includes recent versions of grap and deroff. 25 26dos 27--- 28 29Binaries for Eli Zaretskii's port using the djgpp compiler are available 30from 31 32 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro*b.zip 33 34and its mirrors; for installation details please read `arch/djgpp/README'. 35This port also runs on Windows 32 systems, except Windows 2000. 36 37grap 38---- 39 40An implementation of Kernighan & Bentley's grap language for typesetting 41graphs. Written by Ted Faber <faber@lunabase.org>. The actual version 42can be found at 43 44 http://www.lunabase.org/~faber/Vault/software/grap/ 45 46A djgpp port which runs on dos and most Windows 32 systems (Windows 95, 47Windows 98, Windows NT) done by Kees Zeelenberg <c.zeelenberg@hccnet.nl> 48is available from 49 50 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/ 51 52It is intended to be used with the djgpp port of groff. 53 54A Windows 32 port is included in the groff package available from 55 56 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 57 58plot2dev 59-------- 60 61This utility program can convert plot graphics to either pic or gremlin 62files. It has been written by Richard Murphey <richard-murphey@rice.edu> 63and Daniel Senderowicz <daniel@synchrods.com> (who has added the gremlin 64driver). The actual version can be found as 65 66 ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/plot2dev-x.x.tar.gz 67 68troffcvt 69-------- 70 71From the web page: 72 73 troffcvt is a translator that turns troff input into a form that can be 74 more easily processed. The troffcvt distribution comes with 75 postprocessors that turn troffcvt into various destination formats such 76 as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), RTF (Rich Text Format) or plain 77 text. 78 79Note that you need a lot of additional packages to compile troffcvt; 80everything is available from 81 82 http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/ 83 84unroff 85------ 86 87From the README file: 88 89 Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with 90 a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language. Unroff is free software 91 and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries. 92 93 http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/unroff/unroff.html 94 95You need als Elk, the Scheme based Extension Language Kit, which is 96available from 97 98 http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~net/elk 99 100deroff 101------ 102 103Deroff removes roff constructs from documents for the purpose of indexing, 104spell checking etc. 105 106Michael Haardt's <michael@moria.de> implementation is a little smarter 107than traditional implementations, because it knows about certain -man and 108-mm macros. It is able to generate a word list for spell checking tools 109or omit headers for sentence analysis tools. It can further generate 110cpp-style #line lines. 111 112 http://www.moria.de/deroff/ 113 114Version 1.6 compiled with DJGPP (for MS-DOS and all Windows 32 systems, 115i.e. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT) is available from 116 117 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/ 118 119and its mirrors. 120 121A Windows 32 port of version 1.8 is available from 122 123 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 124 125David Frey <dfrey@debian.org> has also written a deroff implementation 126for Debian; it is available from 127 128 ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/deroff/ 129 130miscellaneous 131------------- 132 133. Ralph Corderoy's excellent page on troff: 134 135 www.troff.org 136 137 There are links for virtually everything related to troff. 138 139. Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from 140 141 http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html 142 143 At present there are examples for 144 145 o creating business cards 146 o using groff to make large format posters for presentations 147 148. Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from 149 150 http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html 151 152 Description: 153 154 o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many 155 things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new 156 sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds 157 diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few 158 simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it 159 as a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the 160 output file with the original. 161 162 o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of 163 paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of 164 specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new 165 drop cap. 166 167 o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the 168 Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm) 169 of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they 170 should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag. 171 172. Thomas Baruchel <baruchel@libertysurf.fr> has developed Meta-tbl, a tbl 173 postprocessor to manipulate table cells (like adding gray shades). The 174 latest version can be found at 175 176 http://perso.libertysurf.fr/baruchel/ 177 178. gpresent, written by Bob Diertens <bobd@science.uva.nl>. From the README 179 file: 180 181 gpresent is a package for making presentation with groff and acroread. 182 It consist of a set of macros to be used with groff and a post-processor 183 for manipulating the PostScript output of groff. Without the use of the 184 PAUSE macro, it can also be used for making slides. 185 186 It is available from 187 188 www.science.uva.nl/~bobd/useful/gpresent/ 189 190 191documentation 192------------- 193 194Many documents related to the original versions of troff, ditroff, pic, 195and others can be accessed from the following web pages: 196 197 http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr.html 198 http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/papers.html 199
