Subject: [TUHS] Jon Bentley's DFORMAT preprocessor now available
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2020 08:35:38 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1jmsdm-0001SD-5B@tanda> (raw)

Hello All.

I have reconstituted Jon Bentley's DFORMAT preprocessor (troff and awk
source) and made it available on GitHub.  See
https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/dformat.

This is an awk program that reads a description of data layouts, such
as registers or network packets, and generates PIC descriptions.

A Makefile generates PDF from the dformat.ms file using GNU troff.

Jon Bentley was helpful in the final stages, including contributing
his original files.

Enjoy!

Arnold Robbins
