Does anyone have a macro in nroff/troff laying around that they could lay on
me that's like a .2C (in -mm or -ms) only it's a .4C? I'm too lazy to try to
figure it out from scratch. Just send me what you use and I can modify it from
there.
Muchas gracias (in advance).

All you have to do is use .MC (multiple column) in the -ms macro. .MC takes two arguments 1) is the column width 2) is the gutter width (the space between columns). It will create however many columns it can based on the line length and the column with that you specify. With the line length set to 6.5 inches the following command will create 3 column output. .MC 1.8i 0.4i The .2C macros simply calls the .MC macro. I have never tried 4 columns but I'm sure the same technique would work. John Pew Silicon Compilers {decwrl,weitek,oliveb}!sci!johnp
