What default can I set to format the manpages in A4 and then print it in A4? > Call ptroff with the additional option "-l 11in". just in case you didnt see it in the man page for man, you can set an environment variable called TROFF to be the formatting command invoked by man -t so you can do something like setenv TROFF ptroff -man -t -l 11in you may have to experiment to see if the -man and -t are required, but I've used this successfully on lesser computers -- --------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore alex@cs.umd.edu NeXT mail accepted
