You've got to be kidding. How can anyone ship a program that is that broken?
Never mind. I should know better than to ask a question like that. Is the tbl
still broke if the tbl program is part of a pipe? Something like:
soelim file | eqn | tbl | troff
<According to the man page the supported output devices are aps (Autologic
<APS-5) and i10 (Imagen Imprint 10).
Sounds like typical DWB2.0 configuration, which means that the Adobe, or
someone's, package is needed to get the output to a LaserWriter.
