Re: [Groff] PS and "page background"

[Miklos Somogyi]

Bernd, thank you very much for the idea. I'll try when I'll have X  
windows.
I would like to install Tiger and the the whole X environment on my  
Mac, but
I wait until I am sure that Tiger and "terminal" can co-exist.

I do a lot of graphics in standalone PostScript, so I'll need a good
generic PS viewer too, but groffer sounds very interesting.

Thank you

Miklos
