I'd like to do that (actually I'm in the final phase of a manuscript, where
I;ll soon face again the problem how to submit the equation stuff).
but for the dummies like me who are not using cvs regularly: the home page
states that one can download a development snapshot (i.e. bypassing direct
`cvs' use). I tried this but ended up with an empty tar archive (not
surprisingly,looking at the stated size in `.../groff/devel').
question: what am I doing wrong _this_ time?
