A friend of mine has been using unix for many years (most recently
with some kind of commercial unix look-alike on a mac).  Now his
company (and mine) is providing him with a machine with win NT.  He
has obtained a unix look alike of some kind called MKF Toolkit.  It is
lacking troff, which he needs.

I sent hime the djgpp groff (groff-1.10).  After installing, it 
can't find the DESC files. 

Unfortunately, I'm still working in win3.11 land, so I don't know 
many of the ins and outs of getting djgpp programs to work on NT.

Following are several sections of his console output, as follows:

	1. cat of his environ.ksh (apparently he is running a Korn
	shell)

	2. The output from "set"

	3.  A cat of the shellscript he uses to invoke groff

	4.  The output of running that shellscript,

	5.  A cat of his djgpp.env file 

In the following, I've globally replaced his prompt, which was his 
name, with the word "Prompt". 

Thanks,

--->First, how  the environ is set:

Prompt% pwd
C:/users/jws
Prompt% cat environ.ksh

alias cdd="cd c:/data/0078915 ; pwd"
alias cdg="cd c:/data/0078915/Applications/groff ; pwd"
alias up="cd .. ; pwd; ls;"

export HOME="C:/users/jws"
