- You don't say which version of troff you are using. Yes, there is more than
- one. I don't know about the DWB (Documentor's WorkBench) version 3.0, and
- later, but old C/A/T troff and DWB 2.0+ version cannot handle anything that
- wide. They were built for portrait output only.
-
- But, if you get the GNU version of troff, called groff, it has the ability
- to do landscape output.
