[net.unix] 2.8 nroff question

jwp@uwmacc.UUCP (Jeffrey W Percival) (08/27/85)

Is there a way to tell nroff to fill, but not to right-justify?
From what I can see, it seems you get both, or neither.  Remember,
we're talking about 2.8BSD only.  Thanks!

Hi,

	To fill with right ragged margins while using nroff, use the 
command 

	.na

	"To restore the right margin alignment, the request

	.ad

is used.
