Hello All, from this list (I can't find it anymore) I got a brilliant recipe to make plaintext-tables like so:
===== .TS box tab(|); cb|cb|cb|cb. Year | Hurricane | Deaths | Location .T& l|c|c|c. 1780|Great Hurricane of 1780|27,500+|Antilles 1998|Hurricane Mitch|18,974 - 21,000|Honduras 1900|Galveston Hurricane|8,000 - 12,000|Cuba, Texas 1974|Hurricane Fifi|8,000 - 10,000|Honduras, Belize 1930|Dominican Republic Hurricane|2,000 - 8,000|Antilles, D.R. 1963|Hurricane Flora|7,186 - 8,000|Haiti, Cuba .TE then pipe this text to: tbl | nroff -Tascii | uniq > output.file ===== lately tried: tbl | groff -k -Tutf8 | uniq > output.file which works fine and I get german umlauts. But while "cat" will show me the output correctly "vim" or even "less" will not. I don't know where to start looking into the nature of this problem. I am shure there is a simple explanation. help appreciated greatly, sorry for being OT jan
