I am posting this for a co-worker.  If you can not respond directly to
him, I will forward any replies to him.

================================================================

Does anyone know how to print a SERIES of man pages such that
the page numbers don't reset to the number 1 for each separate
man file? I should mention that each man file begins with a
directive to run the page thru "tbl" before running "[nt]roff".
For example:

'\" t
.\" Above is to invoke "tbl". MUST BE FIRST LINE OF FILE.
.\" Disable hyphenation below.
.nh

.TH Whatever 3 "Last Modified: 2 Oct 1992" "Product"
.SH NAME
Whatever  - one-line description
	...

.\"  TABLE
.TS
	...
.TE

.\" BACK TO nroff
.SH SEE ALSO

I have no problem running "man" on these files, but now
I want to print a set of them with sequential numbering for a manual.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
