- Woops! I have a broken set of mm macros for nroff (though the troff
- versions work just fine), which mean that every page number is
- reported as "- 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000n -"
- so I pipe the output through sed on the way to Mail to
- std-unix-request ... and I normally used "sed 's/0000*//'", but I
- missed one of the zeroes this time! Very sorry, will post a suitable
- grovel to the net and actually truy and fix the macros rather than use
- a quick hack approach like this again!
