This is the Amiga binary (68000 version) distribution of GNU roff 1.09.
It contains all the files that are generated by the build process.  The
sources from which this distribution was compiled were obtained from the
National Technical University of Athens, and contain a couple of local
hacks having to do with the typesetting of greek documents, and which
can be safely ignored.

You can find the sources for this package in file groff-1.09src.lha,
which should be available in the same place you obtained the binary
distribution. For details about re-distributing groff, read the file
COPYING.

INSTALLATION:
=============
Copy bin usr:bin all
Copy lib usr:lib all
Copy man usr:man all
Copy libs/ixemul.library libs:

The first two steps are mandatory, the third is optional, and the fourth
is only required if you do not have ixemul.library already installed.

To save space, you can delete the devX100, devX100-12, devX75, and
devX75-12 directories in lib/groff/font. If you do not plan to create
dvi output (and you probably don't) you can also delete the devdvi
directory.

NOTES FOR A4 users:
===================
This release is pre-configured for use with A4 size paper. (*Read* the
next paragraph, however!) A backup copy of the A4 configuration file can
be found in lib/groff/font/devps/DESC.a4.  If for some reason the copy
you got is configured for U.S. letter size paper, simply copy this file
to usr:lib/groff/font/devps/DESC.

The above configuration file only refers to the PostScript generation
phase.  Groff itself always defaults to U.S. letter size, so you have to
specify that you are using A4 size paper at the beginning of your
document.  To make things easy, I have provided a macro file to do this
for you.  All you need do is add the -ma4 option after any other macro
options you want to use, and you are all set.  E.g., use "groff -mgs
-ma4 file.ms" to typeset a document that uses the "ms" macro package.

NOTES FOR U.S. letter users:
============================
Copy lib/groff/font/devps/DESC.letter to usr:lib/groff/font/devps/DESC
and you are all set.

NOTES ON UNIX SHELL SCRIPTS
===========================
The programs afmtodit, gneqn, gnroff, and grog are UNIX shell scripts
(afmtodit and grog are actually perl scripts). If you need to use them,
you will have to obtain copies of these two programs (available from
aminet as separate archives or as part of the gcc distribution). Gneqn
and gnroff can then be run as "sh gneqn" and "sh gnroff", while afmtodit
and grog can be run as "perl afmtodit" and "perl grog" respectively.

If you are using SKsh (a UNIX shell clone), edit the first line of each
of these programs, changing /usr/bin/sh or /usr/bin/perl to usr:bin/sh
or usr:bin/perl, respectively, and make sure that the script bit (use
chmod +s from SKsh) is set. After doing so, you may use these shell
scripts like any other program, without first having to invoke sh or
perl.

WHAT ELSE YOU WILL NEED
=======================
To print nicely typeset documents, you will either need a PostScript
printer or a PostScript interpreter, such as Post or ghostscript. Both
interpreters are available on aminet.

WHO TO BLAME
============
This version of groff was compiled by Kriton Kyrimis
(kyrimis@theseas.ntua.gr).
