[net.text] trouble with PIC

From: Lee Moore  <lee>
I just discovered that our copy of "pic" assumes that internal
motions in troff are a maximum of 2^13 units.  While this was
true for the old troff, ti-troff allows distances to be up to 2^15
units.  The constant you want to change is near the front of 
pltroff.c.  I should mention that the reason that this was discovered
is because our output device has 2540 units to the inch (a so-called
metric pica).  Thus 2^15 (=32768) (barely) covers our device which
has a page length of 26987 units.
