VERSION |
This is the GNU groff document formatting system. The version number is given in the file VERSION. Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn, tbl, grn, refer, -man, -mdoc, and -ms macros, and drivers for PostScript, TeX dvi format, HP LaserJet 4 printers, Canon CAPSL printers, HTML format (still alpha), and typewriter-like devices. Also included is a modified version of the Berkeley -me macros, an enhanced version of the X11 xditview previewer, and an implementation of the -mm macros contributed by Joergen Haegg (jh@axis.se). See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. You will require a C++ compiler. The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to groff. Groff is free software. See the file COPYING for copying permission. The file PROBLEMS describes various problems that have been encountered in compiling, installing, and running groff. For the moment, the documentation assumes that you are already familiar with the Unix versions of troff, -ms, and the preprocessors. The most recent released version of groff is always available by anonymous ftp from ftp.gnu.org in the directory pub/gnu/groff. A CVS repository is now available, containing the current development version of groff. You can access it with the commands export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.ffii.org:/var/cvs cvs login cvs -z9 co groff (if the prompt for the password appears, just press the enter key). After a successful login you no longer need the first two commands; an update of a checked out repository should be done with cvs -z9 update -dP Please read the info pages of cvs for further details. Alternatively, you can download snapshots (which are updated twice a day) from ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz or a diff file relative to the latest official groff release as ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-<version>-current.diff.gz Assuming that groff-<version>.tar.gz and groff-<version>-current.diff.gz are in the same directory, do the following to apply the diff file: tar xzvf groff-<version>.tar.gz cd groff-<version> gunzip -c ../groff-<version>-current.diff.gz | patch -p1 Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT; the idea of this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix the bug. At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure that you supply all the information that it asks for. Even if you are not sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not. Three mailing lists are available: bug-groff@gnu.org for reporting bugs groff@gnu.org for general discussion of groff groff-commit@ffii.org a read-only list showing logs of commitments to the CVS repository Note that groff@gnu.org is an alias for groff@ffii.org; you must be subscribed to the `groff' list to send mails. To subscribe, send a mail to <list>-request@<domain> (example: groff-request@ffii.org) with the word `subscribe' in either the subject or body of the email (don't include the quotes). GNU groff was written by James Clark <jjc@jclark.com>. It is now maintained by Ted Harding <ted.harding@nessie.mcc.ac.uk> and Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>.
