- I am tring to get nroff or troff to paginate a textfile.
- I just need to center a few things, indent under the headings.
- Simple stuff, I have looked into the macros me and ms, but have
- not had any luck. The commands I am getting in the man don't seem
- to do the same thing on the screen (or printer). I know O'Riely
- makes a a book about this, but I did not want to have to buy it
- (or read it). The man page I get on nroff says nothing about its
- text commands, just its command line arguments. I am using a Sun
- (SunOS 4.1.1) and printing to a DecScript laser printer. The Dec
- 5000 is also my print spooler. any suggestions anyone?
- Thanks!
