Subject: [TUHS] Troff, eqn, tbl, etc
Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2018 19:26:25 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47485C4A-BCCD-4FA0-A0AF-3B37EEAC1D93@gmail.com> (raw)

In the help file for v6 (/usr/doc/hel), it says that troff, eqn, etc are not part of the distro and even though there are man pages, the utils are not present in my base v6 install. I know this because I copied the hel0-hel5 files and naa over to my mac and used groff to make ps files and ps2pdf to turn those files into pdfs. While they came out ok, there was some overlapping text and the math equations were imperfect. I figured if I could do more preprocessing in v6 before moving files into mac, they might come out better, but the utils as noted above. Do we have the utils as bits somewhere (or is this an oblique reference to 1bsd)?

Thanks,

Will
