Cawf provides "a usable subset of raw nroff capabilities". Unlike groff, it is small and easy to install/use. It is also highly portable. Archive includes OS/2 executables and full source code.
A note about the future of ecsoft2.org
ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.
Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.
If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggamba
tiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.
If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.
Program is distributed as ZIP package: download to temporary directory and unpack to destination folder. See below for download link(s).
Following ones are the download links for manual installation:
