I've recently been trying to process the mm reference manual through ditroff (possibly old versions, ie. not SysV/DWB), but haven't met with much success. I've never seen a properly printed copy, so I'm in the dark as to what it should look like, however there seem to be two major problems: . There is no real title page, the output starts with the title left justified in 10-point caps (?). I can live with this if necessary. . Page numbers have a lot more digits than I'd like, they're left-padded with about 20 zeroes. The second of these bugs sounds depressingly familiar. Has anyone seen either of them? Does anyone have fixes? Profuse thanks in advance. Ian Utting (iau@ukc) Computing Lab, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
