Thank you Richard for that script but my problem is that I don't have groff
or nroff working for NT4.0. I've compiled without problems groff-1.10 but I
could not install it under NT4.0 and I also had problems when running it
when the application looks for devices since gnu-win32 b18 didn't create any
devices when I was installing it. Do you know where I can find a precompiled
version of groff ???
Thank you in advanced..
