Ralph,
1) eqn filename -> syntax error "context is >>> x=y+z <<<",
though it should work
2) grog filename -> groff -e filename
groff -e filename -> syntax error
3) groff -e -ms filename -> syntax error (-ms is what you suggested)
4) alias gr "groff -set -I directoryname -P -Pprologue-1.19.2-ms \!:1
> temporary-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.
Please note that the problem is not likely with my aliases and
modifications, 'cause cases
1 and 2 (the most basic things without my alterations) are not working
either.
Please note that if I don't define a directory, groff and eqn use
their own (unmodified) defaults.
Miklos

Hi Miklos,
.EQ

.EN
.ex
indicates a syntax error. No matter what is between .EQ and .EN, it
is
syntax error.
You're not really giving us enough to go on. What's the command line
you're using on the above file? This works for me.
echo top/.sp 2i/before/.EQ/x = y sup z/.EN/after |
tr / \\012 | groff -e -ms >miklos.ps
Cheers,
Ralph.
