Why does the following produce an output file of 132 lines instead of 66? .nf This is line 1 This is line 2 This is line 3 .sp 10i This is line 64 This is line 65 This is line 66 It seems that even though the last line fits on the first page, nroff wants to output an additional page. I would think that another page wouldn't be started until another line is attempted to be output. What gives? Michael Morrell
