We are running 4.0.2 SunOS on a 386i. I recently found thack
and tried it with troff. It works great, except that the text
is all shifted up about 35 or 40 PostScript pixels.

I hacked thack to add a 0 40 translate, and now it looks ok.

Anybody know where this happens? I suspect thack, of course,
over a commercial product from Sun, any day (sure I do).

Oh yes, this is on an NEC SilentWriter LC890, which seems to
line things up fine iun Diable 630 mode.

Thx,
