- CAWF a.k.a. NROFF
- -----------------
-
-
- This is a quick and dirty port of 'cawf' that came from Simtel20
- This implements an 'nroff' and 'man' function that runs under RISCOS.
-
- Two invocations are possible
-
- Once the filer has seen !man then any files in the !man.1 directory
- can be read by typing
-
- man subject
-
- Or double clicking any file of type ManPages (100)
-
- The man pages are in subdirectory '1'
-
-
- CHANGING FILE TYPE USED
- -----------------------
-
- If you want to alter the file type, the !sprites file and the !boot
- file need changing to refer to the correct file type.
- To change to file type XXX
-
-
- The Boot file is :
-
- set Cawf$path <obey$dir>.
- iconsprites cawf:!Sprites
- set alias$man run cawf:man %*0
- set file$type_100 ManPages
- set alias$@RunType_100 taskwindow -quit "cawf:cawf -man -dNONE %%0"
-
-
-
- Change the two 100's i to XXX n this file
- and rename the sprites file_100 and small_100 to file_XXX and small_XXX
- in !Sprites.
-
-
- OTHER USES
- ----------
-
- The 'nroff' program itself is called 'cawf' (see the cawf ManPages file)
- and can be invoked independently.
-
-
- Then it will also format to 1st word plus files
-
- (this prints via Acorn drivers )
- cawf -man -dacorn manfile > printer:
-
- Or:
-
- cawf -man -dacorn manfile > FWP_file
-
- Will produce bold and underline in a FirstWord Plus File (for e.g. Ovation)
-
- Look in cawf:lib.device/cf on how to add devices
