For kicks I have been trying to get nroff on my Xenix box to handle the proportional character mode on my dot-matrix printer. I haven't had much luck in figuring out the nroff term variables. I know what the documentation says but when does nroff use Char, Adj, Em, Hor, Ver and plot mode? All the experimenting I have done hasn't been able to uncover their relationships. Has anyone used this feature? Thanks, Larry Plona -- Sit denique inscriptum in fronte unius "Let it finally be written on cuiusque quid de rebus publicis sentiat the forehead of each man what he - Cicero thinks of open systems"
