RE: [Groff] groff ms-windows

[Freudenberger Joerg]

Hello Johann

May I ask you to unpack the tar-ball with the cygwin command 
        tar xvfz <tar-ball>
I think you unpacked it using WinZip.
        (Yes, I was hit by this often in former times)
  And the cygwin software is mostly compiled for unix files.

Yours
        Jörg
