Under NT the program could be called groff with some parameters. Groff starts some other programs (tbl, troff, grops) without problems. Under Win 95 all programs have to be called separately with input from and output to file. NT: groff - ..... < filea > fileb 95: tbl < filea > fileb troff ... < fileb > filea grops < filea > fileb (under Unix, groff could also be called directly) What is the reason for this behaviour of Win 95? I need also say that this sequence is called out of a tcl/Tk-program. Is there a chance to improve speed with direct call of groff under Win95?
