Version 1.9 is a modification of 1.8h to recognise excessive space in
|
|
"ashow" as being a word separator, as found output from groff 1.08.
|
|
Also fixed widthshow, awidthshow and added xshow, yshow and xyshow.
|
|
Uses ANSI prototypes. These are now required, not optional.
|
|
Fixes a number of compiler warnings.
|
|
Note that neither of the original authors still work at DEC/Compaq/HP.
