Re: [Groff] drawing a figure

[Weiguang Shi]

Hi, there:
    Nowadays, it seems there are less people using groff, or troff. Most
people in my department are using Latex, MS word, etc. I myself used MS
word on PC before, but since I switched to Unix, I want to use groff,
after I read one of Stevens' books which says the real Unix books
are written using troff. 

    I am wondering why (or whether) groff/troff is no longer popular. And
I'd like to know the strength and weekness of these different publishing
applications.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks.
