7 Here two ports using the gcc compiler and other GNU tools:
11 http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
13 Look for a convenient mirror site in
15 http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html
17 At any of this mirrors, groff can be found in the directory
20 . Kees Zeelenberg <c.zeelenberg@hccnet.nl>:
22 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/groffl.htm
24 This port includes grap-1.10 and deroff-1.7.
29 Binaries for Eli Zaretskii's port using the djgpp compiler are available
32 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro*b.zip
34 and its mirrors; for installation details please read `arch/djgpp/README'.
35 This port also runs on win32 systems, except Win2K.
40 An implementation of Kernighan & Bentley's grap language for typesetting
41 graphs. Written by Ted Faber <faber@lunabase.org>. The actual version

46 A djgpp port which runs on dos and most win32 systems (Win95, Win98,
47 WinNT) done by Kees Zeelenberg <c.zeelenberg@hccnet.nl> is available from
49 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/
51 It is intended to be used with the djgpp port of groff.
53 A win32 port is included in the groff package available from
55 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
60 This utility program can convert plot graphics to either pic or gremlin
61 files. It has been written by Richard Murphey <richard-murphey@rice.edu>
62 and Daniel Senderowicz <daniel@synchrods.com> (who has added the gremlin
63 driver). The actual version can be found as
65 ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/plot2dev-x.x.tar.gz
72 troffcvt is a translator that turns troff input into a form that can be
73 more easily processed. The troffcvt distribution comes with
74 postprocessors that turn troffcvt into various destination formats such
75 as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), RTF (Rich Text Format) or plain
78 Note that you need a lot of additional packages to compile troffcvt;
79 everything is available from
81 http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/
88 Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with
89 a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language. Unroff is free software
90 and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries.

94 You need als Elk, the Scheme based Extension Language Kit, which is

102 Deroff removes roff constructs from documents for the purpose of indexing,
105 Michael Haardt's <michael@moria.de> implementation is a little smarter
106 than traditional implementations, because it knows about certain -man and
107 -mm macros. It is able to generate a word list for spell checking tools
108 or omit headers for sentence analysis tools. It can further generate
109 cpp-style #line lines.

113 Version 1.6 compiled with DJGPP (for MS-DOS and all Win32 systems, i.e.
114 Win95, Win98, WinNT) is available from
116 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/
120 A win32 port of version 1.8 is available from
122 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
124 David Frey <dfrey@debian.org> has also written a deroff implementation
125 for Debian; it is available from
127 ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/deroff/
132 . Ralph Corderoy's excellent page on troff:
136 There are links for virtually everything related to troff.
138 . Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from
140 http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html
142 At present there are examples for
144 o creating business cards
145 o using groff to make large format posters for presentations
147 . Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from
149 http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html
153 o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many
154 things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new
155 sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds
156 diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few
157 simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it
158 as a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the
159 output file with the original.
161 o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of
162 paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of
163 specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new
166 o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the
167 Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm)
168 of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they
169 should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag.
171 . Thomas Baruchel <baruchel@libertysurf.fr> has developed Meta-tbl, a tbl
172 postprocessor to manipulate table cells (like adding gray shades). The
173 latest version can be found at
175 http://perso.libertysurf.fr/baruchel/
