21 Binaries for Eli Zaretskii's port using the djgpp compiler
24 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro*b.zip
26 and its mirrors; for installation details please read `arch/djgpp/README'.
31 An implementation of Kernighan & Bentley's grap language for typesetting
32 graphs. Written by Ted Faber <faber@lunabase.org>. The actual version

37 A djgpp port which runs on MS-DOS and all Win32 systems (Win95, Win98,
38 WinNT) done by Kees Zeelenberg <c.zeelenberg@hccnet.nl> is available from
40 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/
42 It is intended to be used with the djgpp port of groff.
47 This utility program can convert plot graphics to either pic or gremlin
48 files. It has been written by Richard Murphey <richard-murphey@rice.edu>
49 and Daniel Senderowicz <daniel@synchrods.com> (who has added the gremlin
50 driver). The actual version can be found as
52 ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/plot2dev-x.x.tar.gz
59 troffcvt is a translator that turns troff input into a form that can be
60 more easily processed. The troffcvt distribution comes with
61 postprocessors that turn troffcvt into various destination formats such
62 as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), RTF (Rich Text Format) or plain
65 Note that you need a lot of additional packages to compile troffcvt;
66 everything is available from
68 http://www.primate.wisc.edu/software/troffcvt/
75 Unroff is a Scheme-based, programmable, extensible troff translator with
76 a back-end for the Hypertext Markup Language. Unroff is free software
77 and is distributed both as source and as precompiled binaries.

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

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

100 Version 1.6 compiled with DJGPP (for MS-DOS and all Win32 systems, i.e.
101 Win95, Win98, WinNT) is available from
103 ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/
110 . Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from
112 http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html
114 At present there are examples for
116 o creating business cards
117 o using groff to make large format posters for presentations
119 . Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from
121 http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html
125 o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many
126 things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new
127 sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds
128 diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few
129 simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it as
130 a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the output
131 file with the original.
133 o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of
134 paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of
135 specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new
138 o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the
139 Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm)
140 of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they
141 should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag.
143 . Thomas Baruchel <baruchel@libertysurf.fr> has developed Meta-tbl, a tbl
144 postprocessor to manipulate table cells (like adding gray shades). The
145 latest version can be found at
147 http://perso.libertysurf.fr/baruchel/
