We are running 4.2bsd on a Vax11/780 with a Versatec printer and we would
like to get itroff working. From my understanding what must be done is:
[1] Build a DESC file,
[2] Build font files,
[3] Write a post-processor for the Versatec.
Could someone please explain to me the various fields of the DESC file and
font files? Also, I have no idea how to go about writing the post-processor;
any suggestions? (Yes, I have read the documentation which says that everything
is clear and straightforward -- well not for me, it isn't.)
If anyone has working copies of the DESC/font files for the Versatec and/or
the post-processor, I would very much appreciate your sending me a copy.
I shall endeavour to post a summary of the responses I receive in about a
month's time.
