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

There doesn't seem to be a ready-compiled version of the latest groff
around. OS X.3 comes, of course, with groff 1.18.1 pre-installed. But
it is easy to compile the CVS using the OS X development tools. Get
the CVS as detailed on the webpage. Then issue the commands in
Terminal.app:
setenv CXX g++2
setenv PAGE letter [that is, if you need letter paper as default
instead of A4]
./configure --mandir=/usr/local/share/man
make
That should do it! But it *would* be good if there were a precompiled
binary around - I'm on vacation with a laptop without development tools
installed, and would very much like to be able to download a ready-made
binary of the latest CVS. When I get back home, I may well do it
myself and put it on a webpage somewhere.
As for the -me macros - take a look at the version in the CVS (or the
release tarball), *before* it gets installed. It is quite extensively
commented - the comments are stripped out in the installation process.
Robert.
