+This is grn from the Berkeley ditroff distribution.  It has no
+AT&T code and is therefore freely distributable.

+
+=====================================================================
+
+This is the modified code for the groff.  It uses the different
+devxxx format that is ascii rather than binary as in the
+Berkeley distribution.  Since groff does not have the \Ds option
+for line drawing (dotted, dashed, etc.), this version includes
+the routines for drawing curves and arcs, so it does not use the
+\D~, \Da nor \Dc.  Although also included in here is a routine
+for drawing the optional gremlin style curves, it is not used
+because the gremlin editor uses the conventional spline
+algorithm.  The Berkeley grn has the choice of different
+stipples.  Here, only different shades of gray will be painted
+depending on the gremlin file.  It is possible to upgrade this at
+a later time.  (Daniel Senderowicz <daniel@synchrods.com> 12/28/99)
+
+=====================================================================
+
+Gremlin produces three types of curves: B-Splines, interpolated
+curves and Bezier.  As the original Berkeley grn, now groff grn
+will honor B-Splines and interpolated curves.  Bezier curves will
+be printed as B-Splines.  (Daniel Senderowicz <daniel@synchrods.com>

+
+=====================================================================
+
+It has been further modified by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org> to fit
+better into the groff package.
+
+  . Replaced Makefile with Makefile.sub.
+
+  . Removed dev.h since it is unused.
+
+  . Renamed grn.1 to grn.man; this man page has been extensively
+    revised.
+
+  . Used error() and fatal() from libgroff for all source files.
+
+  . Renamed *.c to *.cpp; updates as needed for C++ (prototypes, proper
+    casts, standard header files etc).  Heavy formatting.
+
+  . main.cpp:
+
+      Using groff's default values instead of DEVDIR, DEFAULTDEV,
+      PRINTER, TYPESETTER, and GREMLIB.
+
+      'res' is now an integer.
+
+      Added '-C' command flag (for compatibility mode) as with other
+      preprocessors.
+
+      Added '-F' and '-v' option (similar to troff).
+
+      Renamed '-L' option to '-M' for consistence.
+
+      Removed '-P' option.
+
+      Using font::load_desc() for scanning DESC files.
+
+      Removed SYSV-specific code.
+
+      Using macro_path.open_file() for getting gremlin graphic files.
+
+      Added usage().
