Hello

Has anyone considered / tried to port the Heiroom version of troff?
Has anyone any comment about why doing so would be a bad idea?

Perhaps it would not be that difficult, or at least APE could be used.
(maybe G Ritter would know of some gotchas)

Thanks
Ruda

No sense tossing the baby overboard. But it's worth examining the changes
the Heirloom folks have made to see what would make sense to backport. They've
certainly done some good work that deserves a look at least.
