Given: Troff document (-ms) with figures to be inserted later. Each figure
MUST appear on a separate page. The tricky part is that each page MUST
contain a full page of text, and the figure page(s) MUST FOLLOW the reference
to the figure. Using '.nr % +1' sometimes advances the page number
correctly, but because of the need for a full page of text occasionally
increments by two instead of one. An example follows:
| page of text | Fig 1 | page of text | Fig 2 |Fig. 3|
-1- -2- -3- -4- -5-
**skip** **skip** **skip**
As you can see we fill a page with text and the follow it with the
figure(s). Can someone help us with an appropriate macro.
