Hi Miklos, (Please keep the list CC'd so it doesn't fall on only me to answer.)
Sorry, after a very long lull I forgot this ..
Did the two-line pipeline I provided work?
No
1) eqn filename -> syntax error "context is >>> x=y+z <<<", though it should work 2) grog filename -> groff -e filename groff -e filename -> syntax error3) groff -e -ms filename -> syntax error (-ms is what you suggested)4) alias gr "groff -set -I directoryname -P -Pprologue-1.19.2-ms \!:1temporary-file"this alias has been working well for a long time, though I haven't had eqn jobs here "directoryname" is the directory of all my include files (e.g. a modified prologue) gr filename -> syntax error If I soelim e.tmac, it does not make a difference Please note that eqn IS called, just it does not accept anything as valid.Are you doing this on Mac OS X as your Mailer header suggests? There'srumours that eqn as shipped by Apple has issues.http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg04206.html Perhaps someonewho uses a Mac can comment on the latest situation?
Yep, this is Mac OSX 10.5.5, and I see that Robert has already found out about this bug.
I wonder how could I get a proper binary.
Cheers, Ralph.
Thank you Ralph, Miklos
