For example, the OpenBSD port has it here: /usr/local/share/doc/groff/pic.ps If Fedora doesn't have it at all, i would suspect that might be a bug local to the Fedora distribution then. > Was that omitted from groff 1.22.3, or did it get dropped somewhere > in the chain of custody between there and here? No, it is still in groff 1.22.3. See doc/pic.ms in the groff git repo. And look at doc/doc.am to convince yourself that it is still being installed by default. > Another bit of evidence: in a cygwin installation I also use, > the files in /usr/share/doc/groff are a year older than those > in /usr/share/groff. I don't think timestamps on *installed* files mean much, except maybe for debugging how the installation was done on that particular machine. Read the fantastic source! Yours, Ingo
