Hi:
We've been tearing our hair out trying to find a way to keep pages
from "drifting" across the bursts of paper. That is, the problem
occurs when we try to use -me footnotes [read: .(f \** .)f]. The
first page comes out fine but after that a slow "drifting effect"
takes place so that by the 12th page the page number 12 begins at the
bottom of the 11th page :-( .
Has anyone experienced this before and if so is there "a fix" for this
problem?
We are using the following nroff macro files:
@(#)tmac.e 1.1 86/07/08
@(#)footnote.me 1.1 86/07/08
@(#)thesis.me 1.1 86/07/08
Thanks in advance,
Steve Azmier,
