2 WIN32 port of GROFF and friends done by Blake McBride
3 (blake@florida-software.com) 4/14/00.
5 This port differs from other ports in that it uses the Microsoft
6 compiler. The changes were done such that they only have effect on
7 the code when compiled with the Microsoft compiler.
9 Note that not all preprocessors and output devices have been ported;
10 missing are grohtml, grolbp, grn, refer, soelim, and groff. Besides
11 these programs, no utility program has been ported. Of course,

16 The following programs were used, running on Windows NT 4.0:
18 Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
19 Unix utilities under NT (gzip, tar, patch)
25 Unpack groff (using gzip & tar) as follows:
28 gzip -dc groff-1.16.tar.gz | tar xvf -
30 Now apply the patch file `win32-diffs':
33 patch -p1 < win32-diffs
35 Build everything by typing:
41 The bin directory contains some .cmd files to help show how to run
42 stuff. Since Windows 95/98 doesn't understand .cmd files, if you are
43 operating under that OS you'll have to rename them to .bat files.
44 .bat files do have output redirection problems.
47 The changes I made fall into two categories.
49 1. Makefiles. Several makefiles were added. All makefiles were named
52 2. The Groff build includes several scripts which generate auxiliary
53 files used by groff (such as DESC, I, R, prologue, etc).
