The following troff code, when run with -mgs works as expected: .EH 'GROFF MGS TEST''' .OH '''GROFF MGS TEST' .EF 'Page %''' .OF '''Page %' This is a test to see that the top margin is correct. .bp Checking both page headers and footers. Keep in mind that the first page doesn't have a header. In any event, the text was in the correct place on both pages. For the -me test, the CAP header and footer calls are changed to lower-case. It too works as expected. -- harvard\ ucbvax!uwvax!astroatc!ftms!brown or uu2.psi.com!ftms!brown rutgers/ INTERNET: brown@wi.extrel.com or ftms!brown%astroatc.UUCP@cs.wisc.edu
