+
+ ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/plot2dev-x.x.tar.gz
+
+miscellaneous
+-------------
+
+. Dr. Robert Hermann's groff gems are available from
+
+ http://www.eas.slu.edu/People/RBHerrmann/GROFF/index.html
+
+ At present there are examples for
+
+ o creating business cards
+ o using groff to make large format posters for presentations
+
+. Robert Marks's collection of useful macros and scripts is available from
+
+ http://www.agsm.edu.au/~bobm/odds+ends/scripts.html
+
+ Description:
+
+ o `polish': Is a sed (= the Unix stream editor) script that does many
+ things to ASCII text. Amongst other things, it breaks lines at new
+ sentences, reduces upper-case acronyms by one point size, adds
+ diacriticals, changes simple quotes into smart quotes, and makes a few
+ simple grammar checks. The best way to see what it does is to run it as
+ a sed script file (or files) on a text file and then compare the output
+ file with the original.
+
+ o `DropCaps' is a troff script which replaces the initial letters of
+ paragraphs immediately after H1 and H2 headings with drop-capitals of
+ specified point size, and automatically flows the text around the new
+ drop cap.
+
+ o `AJM Header' is a set of troff macros used in production of the
+ Australian Journal of Management. They use the Memorandum Macros (mm)
+ of AT&T, and so should be invoked with the UNIX troff -mm flag; they
+ should also work with the GNU troff -mm flag.
+
