My apologies if this query is not to the right groups . . . .

I'm having problems generating a document with nroff/troff.

What I WANT to do is generate double-spaced output.
It seems like this ought to be an easy thing to do.

I can get this by using the -rC4 flag, but not without
a "D R A F T" notice at the bottom (which I don't want).

I can't even figure out where this notice comes from.
I couldn't find it with "strings" in nroff or by greping in
/usr/lib/tmac/*  and /usr/lib/macros/* .
As far as I can tell, the macros themselves don't include (using .so)
anything outside of these directories, so I'd expect this search
to be complete.  It doesn't show up with these greps.  Yet it appears.

Does anybody out there know how to generate double spaced output
without the draft notice?  Does anybody know how to remove this notice?

I suppose I could put the output to a file and then edit the file,
but that's not going to work when I need to generate a good copy
with troff.

Please email your suggestions to me, I don't receive comp.text,
and I'm going to be too busy trying to finish this work
to read much news anyway.

Thanks in advance,
                               Kris A. Kugel
