larrykollar / unix-text-processing Goto Github PK

Hello,

I noticed what I believe is a typo in chapter 10 > The pic Prepocessor > Controlling the Dimensions of a Drawing. The example used to illustrate the use of .PF does not use .PF and instead uses .PE.

This typo is also present in the original book.

Hi! this is a pretty cool project. I am learning a bit of *roff so its really handy to see a full blown project's source.
Anyway, i was comparing the book with the output the source generates on my end, and noticed some slight discrepancies with the way page numbers and headers are typeset. Namely the font is Times Roman instead of Helvetica. Maybe this is a problem on my end? Anyway, my diff to make it look more like the original is:

diff --git a/src/utp.mac b/src/utp.mac
index b0b5bb2..bf64eff 100644

Which I hope just changes the font to Helvetica and also capitalizes unix. And hopefully doesnt break everything.
cheers

I'd suggest changing

GROFF = /usr/bin/groff
AWK = /usr/bin/awk

to

GROFF = /usr/bin/env groff
AWK = /usr/bin/env awk

I ran into an issue on OS X where when I installed an updated groff via homebrew, because the script was hardcoded to a particular path, it didn't pick up the change.
