Is the groff program in your path?

You didn't say what platform you're using.

I have installed Gnats 3.113 on the Unix Sun machine and Tkgnats on
 the clients windows machine

Groff is not installed on the Sun machine, it's installed only on the
clients windows machine where the Tkgnats works. Should I install Groff on
both of them??
On the documentation of Groff for windows is this not signed!

The installation of Groff for windows said:

You should have installed the basics of the Cygwin-library.

Copy the archives to Program Files\Groff and unzip them. Add Program
Files\Groff\Bin to your path if you want to be able to use Groff in
DOS-boxes.


Thanks Rick
