This is the GNU groff document formatting system.  The version number
is given in the file VERSION.

Included in this release are implementations of troff, pic, eqn, tbl,
grn, refer, -man, -mdoc, -mom, and -ms macros, and drivers for PostScript,
TeX dvi format, HP LaserJet 4 printers, Canon CAPSL printers, HTML format
(beta status), and typewriter-like devices.  Also included is a modified
version of the Berkeley -me macros, an enhanced version of the X11
xditview previewer, and an implementation of the -mm macros contributed
by Joergen Haegg (address@hidden).

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.  You will require a
C++ compiler.

The file NEWS describes recent user-visible changes to groff.

Groff is free software.  See the file COPYING for copying permission.

The file PROBLEMS describes various problems that have been encountered
in compiling, installing, and running groff.

The most recent released version of groff is always available by
anonymous ftp from ftp.gnu.org in the directory pub/gnu/groff.

A CVS repository is available (http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=groff),
containing the current development version of groff.  You can access it
with the commands

  export CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/groff
  export CVS_RSH=ssh
  cvs -z9 co groff

Note that you need an SSH client for security reasons.

An update of a checked out repository should be done with

  CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z9 update -dP

Please read the info pages of cvs for further details.

Alternatively, you can download snapshots (which are updated twice a
day) from

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/groff-current.tar.gz

or a diff file relative to the latest official groff release as

  http://groff.ffii.org/groff/groff-<version>-current.diff.gz

Assuming that groff-<version>.tar.gz and
groff-<version>-current.diff.gz are in the same directory, do the
following to apply the diff file:

  tar xzvf groff-<version>.tar.gz
  cd groff-<version>
  gunzip -c ../groff-<version>-current.diff.gz | patch -p1

Finally, it is possible to access the CVS with a browser by pointing it
to

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=groff

Please report bugs using the form in the file BUG-REPORT; the idea of
this is to make sure that FSF has all the information it needs to fix
the bug.  At the very least, read the BUG-REPORT form and make sure
that you supply all the information that it asks for.  Even if you are
not sure that something is a bug, report it using BUG-REPORT: this will
enable us to determine whether it really is a bug or not.

Three mailing lists are available:

  address@hidden          for reporting bugs
  address@hidden              for general discussion of groff
  address@hidden       a read-only list showing commitments
                             to the CVS repository

You must be subscribed to the `groff' list to send mails.

To subscribe, send a mail to <list>-request@<domain> (example:
address@hidden) with the word `subscribe' in either the subject
or body of the email (don't include the quotes) or have a look at the
groff mailing list web page at
