I have tried to contact Gunnar many times in several ways without success. Fixing the bugs has become inevitable now... > The heirloom refer implementation with lookbib and sortbib is more robust > than the groff version, but groff's tbl seems more reliable on long tables. If you have an example for a long table which does not reliable work I would be interested to look into this. > Additionally, the output with the traditional macro packages and without > paragraph at once formatting is close to CAT troff (including the enhanced > BSD versions), which makes sense and proves useful with historical > documents like old man pages. I hope groff is compatible regarding the processing of historical documents too. Except the man macros I usually don't use macro packages but the groff requests seem to be compatible (fortunately also with \n(.C=0). Please note that the repository has moved to https://github.com/n-t-roff/heirloom-doctools For discussing heirloom troff (and other non-groff specific macro packages and tools) a mailing list will be set up to not misuse the groff list and annoy groff-only list members (further ;). Cheers, Carsten
