I use Cygwin on a PC running Windows 98. It has groff version 1.18.1. Does anyone have a clue about when Cygwin will update to the 1.19 version? Clarke Werner LEMBERG wrote: This has been fixed 4½ years ago (starting with 1.19). The incorrect metric files (this is, adding negative left and

Great, thanks. Then that isn't the source of my problem: x.troff:11: fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop) But I just figured it out: ms requires .TL before anything else (and after .RP). The way I have the code starts with something that is not .TL. And thus, the abov

Hello. I'm working with code that amends to ms' PP. The code uses a number register 1t - that is the number 1 followed by lowercase t. First, is such an identifier legal in groff? Second, what happens if a register is not defined with .nr and used with \n(xx - would it be 0 or would it be an error

Why do you need it in a circle when you can just use the ms .IP or mm's built-in numbering along with a normal number? If you can't work with the above, then get ready, because either you need graphics commands and absolute placement - which are both HARD (especially absolute placement). Ruedig
