- DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:
-
- I'm using the distributed copy of groff compiled for DOS--it only knows
- how to produce -Tps and -Tascii output, so I'm using the Ghostscript
- package to do the PS==>HP PCL translation. Setting .nr VS greater than
- or equal to 40 results in all the text appearing on the first possible
- printable line on the page, with vertical spacing appearing to be
- 0--all the lines print over each other.
-
- The problem is not in the PS==>PCL translation as it shows up when the
- PS file is previewed on-screen.
-
- Setting .nr VI to 39.99 produced correct output.
