Footnotes will "drift" in -me when you use nroff because of the way the $s macro is coded. Here it is: .de $s \" $$$ footnote separator \l'2i' .if n \ . sp 0.3 .. The .sp 0.3 command produces half-line motions in the nroff output. Unless your printer can handle these, the pagination is thrown off eventually. You can recode $s to use .br instead of .sp 0.3, or you can try piping the nroff output through 'col' before you print it. Warren Hapke, Gould CSD-Urbana ihpn4!uiucuxc!urbsdc!hapke
