There are also a variety of postscript drivers that are the +best thing to use if you have a postscript device. + +You will also have to make a DESC file for your typesetter and some +font description files; see dev202 for examples. These describe the +named characters, widths, kerning information, and output codes. + +Nroff is the same program as troff, so you should + + cp a.out /usr/bin/troff + ln /usr/bin/troff /usr/bin/nroff + +or the equivalent. + +You will also need terminal description files for your terminals; see +tab.37, tab.450 and tab.lp for examples. + +Troff uses files that are normally stored in /usr/lib/font; +macro packages are in /usr/lib/tmac; and nroff tables are in +/usr/lib/term. You can edit tdef.h to change these assumptions. + +There have been a few features since the last version, and a number of +significant internal changes. Not all are improvements, of course. +Most of the more recent changes, including bug fixes, are in FIXES, +which you should read also. |
