When using ptroff to print on our Apple Laser-writer, two small dashes are printed in the lower right corner of each page. These do *not* occur when UNIX lpr output is directed to the Laser-writer. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a cure?

Look thru the troff macro package you are using (in /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.*) You will find a "cm" macro defined which generates cut marks for a versatec or varian. I had to go and delete them out of our man macros. They seem to be built in that way at Berkeley. /a -------

If you are using the -me macro package, then these "cut marks" are produced by the @m macro. The most expedient thing to do to make them go away is to make all the commands in this macro definition into comments (by putting .\ at the front of each line between the .de and the .. lines). The file to change is /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.e .

Alternately, simply add a .rm @m line to the end of /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.e (or to the start of your own files, if you're not in a position to change /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.e -- Apple is an Apple trademark. -- UUCP: ..decvax!seismo!elsie!ado ARPA: elsie!ado@seismo.ARPA DEC, VAX and Elsie are Digital Equipment and Borden trademarks
