nroff and tbl

Post by Justin Ts » Thu, 07 Nov 1996 04:00:00



I can't believe nroff and tbl doesn't come w/SCO OS 3.2v4.2. Recently I
try to install xc on my system and it requires nroff and tbl to generate
the man page for it. That's where the problem begin! I have talked
w/several people. They all think I should at least have tbl. I also check
out the ftp site for SCO, GNU and some othere popular sites. None of them
have either the pkg or the source code for this two popular utilities!
Pls help! I need the source code so I can recompile in my system. This
thing is driving me crazy! It's everywhere and yet I can't find it! :)

Justin

P.S. pls send suggestions and comments to my current addr:

     Thank you!

The subject line of this thread is a bit misleading, since it's xc that
you want.  :-)

The source code for an older version of xc was on Skunkware last year.

The current source of xc (and xt too) are on my site, ftp.jpradley.com.
Or in SCOFORUM or UNIXFORUM on CompuServe.

A formatted man page is on CompuServe, but groff should handle the source
man page just fine.

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?
