[net.text] Using mm with 4.2bsd

mkm@calmasd.UUCP (Michael Miller) (06/13/85)

Six or eight weeks ago there were some exchanges on problems with
mm in the bsd environment. Specifically refering to mm producing
page numbers of the form .00000000000000000000000.... I seem to
recall something about AT&T placing special characters in the
text, that must be replaced in certain places or something along
that order.

As usual an article or two that I should have saved got by. If anyone
understands the problem and the fix, please reply by mail. Your
response would be greatly appreciated.
