OK my local lug advice my to try with groff *roff. So now I am here. First I 'd like to know if you know if the groff packages that is in Slackware 4.0 can convert to postscript. (also with the Danish letters æ, ø, å)(I can install slackware 4.0 packages to Basiclinux 3.0)
I installed Basic Linux on a 486 some time back, but an older version (1.0, I think?). After installing the gcc packages, I built a current version of groff from source. It worked quite well. The 486 was fast enough to use the Vim text editor, which supports syntax highlighting of *roff. As Ted pointed out, groff will output PostScript (that's its default) and should be able to handle Danish characters. Finally, you may want to download a copy of "Unix Text Processing" (see the URL in my signature) if you need a tutorial. -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t Unix Text Processing: "UTP Revival" http://home.alltel.net/kollar/utp/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
