I am loading up a new Windows 7 x64 (64 bit) computer, To particular with groff. To a prior quiery about groff-1.20.1, Werner suggested I try Eli Zaretskii's groff-1.21 port from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/groff-1.21-w32-bin.zip/download. I did this, but now have a different error. It appears that groff.exe cannot access troff.exe as needed. Following is some dialog. Can anyone help? Maybe Eli is reading this? ---------------------------- Version quiery shows "Permission denied" ------------------ smay8% which groff C:/Applications/groff-1.21/bin/groff.exe smay8% which troff C:/Applications/groff-1.21/bin/troff.exe smay8% groff -v GNU groff version 1.21 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
