Thank you Richard for that script but my problem is that I don't have groff 
or nroff working for NT4.0. I've compiled without problems groff-1.10 but I 
could not install it under NT4.0 and I also had problems when running it 
when the application looks for devices since gnu-win32 b18 didn't create any 
devices when I was installing it. Do you know where I can find a precompiled 
version of groff ???

Thank you in advanced..
