I am loading up a new Windows 7 x64 (64 bit) computer, in particular with groff. 1) Is there a groff build specifically for Windows 64 bit? I could not find one so I downloaded "groff-1.20.1-setup.exe" and "installed" using this program from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/groff/1.20.1/groff-1.20.1-setup.exe/download?use_mirror=superb-dca2 .
2) When I try to run, I get error grops:<standard input>:4:fatal error: fdopen: Invalid argument troff: fatal error: error writing output file Can someone help with this? Support info: The following confirms the installation: smay8% which groff C:/Applications/groff-1.20.1/GnuWin32/bin/groff.exe smay8% groff -v GNU groff version 1.20.1 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Thanks, John
