nroff & tbl

Post by John W » Fri, 25 Sep 1998 04:00:00



Hi all, just wanna ask whether SCO 3.2V5.0.2 has these two commands : nroff
& tbl ? I tried the man pages but couldn't find it. I checked the the SCO
documentation for col command, in the section "See Also" I found those two
commands but when I tried to execute them I failed.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.
John

No.  Get and install groff from skunkware:
http://www.sco.com/skunkware

I've found groff's tbl to have one or two minor problems (I'm
considering porting the FreeBSD version) but for most purposes it works
fine.

You *cannot* get nroff and tbl from the SkunkWare archives.  You can
get groff which will do essentially the same thing.

1. source for nroff, tbl, eqn

For some reason, Open Server 5 doesn't include the "standard"
formatting programs needed to view man entries:

man: warning: can't write in /usr/man/cat.1
Stand by: formatting page
Text processing tools (tbl, eqn, nroff) not installed on system

Is there someplace where I can find the source code for these?
