Actually 'paper.ascii' is a plain ASCII file with some 'escape sequences' -- like literal backspace and repeated characters, to denote *bold* text. It's not valid groff input AFAIK, but you can strip off the special characters with: gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/smm/05.fastfs/paper.ascii.gz > 05.fastfs.ascii col -b < 05.fastfs.ascii > 05.fastfs.txt && rm 05.fastfs.ascii Then you have a plain text version of 05.fastfs.txt, which can be converted to PS and/or PDF with tools like a2ps or enscript :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
