groff/tbl/eqn/troff/nroff/etc. binaries and libraries for Coherent 4.0
**********************************************************************

You must be running r72 or higher to use the groff binaries since it is 
compiled by gcc and needs kernel support for floating point (emulator or 
hardware).  You can get r72 by ordering gcc from MWC.

This binary distribution is being sent out since you need 8MB of RAM minimum to
compile groff.  I will also be releasing a source package.  If you cannot wait
for that release then I will send the source package to you; just ask.

You must install the groffbin.tar archive in whatever directory you put your 
binaries in.  For example, if you want the binaries in /usr/bin and the tar 
file groffbin.tar is in /tmp:

cd /usr/bin
tar xvf /tmp/groffbin.tar

You must also install the groff libraries in the grofflib.tar archive.  For
example, if grofflib.tar is in /tmp:

cd /usr/lib
tar xvf /tmp/grofflib.tar

Now you must do the following:

mv /bin/troff /bin/troff.old
mv /bin/nroff /bin/nroff.old

so that the old Coherent versions are not called by the front end groff 
programs.

Note that groff is much closer to UNIX nroff than Coherent's nroff is.  Thus 
your old .r files with nroff and ms macros in them will probably not work the
same; this does not mean groff is broken - you need to change your .r files.
Files for the man macro package should work fine (in fact, all the man pages 
you couldn't create with nroff before should work fine with groff).

To use groff as a pure nroff/troff replacement just call it as nroff/troff with
the options you are used to.

groff is much bigger and slower than Coherent's troff/nroff but it has all the
options.

You can install the man pages in groffman.tar anywhere you like.  You will then
need to modify the man.index and man.help files yourself.

If you have any trouble with this package please contact:
