I tryed to build groff package under gnu-win32 b17.1, but it seems to need lot of hacking. ( anybody managed ?) The 'vi' like editor 'elvis' can read man, and i found 'elvis-2.0' for win32. Unfortunately it isn't buil on cygnus-win32 distrib, so it can't handle unixlike pathnames !!! I tryed to port it with the tiny termcap embeded, and with gnu libtermcap. It compile quite easily in both case, and it runs, but input seems to be 'frozen' (in fact keystrokes seems to be bufferised). Anybody has an idea ?? ---------- > De : Dr Francis J.
