# GPRESENT

## DESCRIPTION

gpresent is a package for making presentations with groff and

acroread.  It consist of a set of macros to be used with groff

and a post-processor for manipulating the PostScript output of

groff.  Without the use of the PAUSE macro, it can also be used

for making slides.

This Git repository has been set up as a fork of the

[original gpresent sources by

Bob Diertens](https://staff.fnwi.uva.nl/b.diertens/useful/gpresent/)

since they have not been updated in a while.

It will run on recent versions of Groff.
