I have a large collection of files that are supposed to be typeset with nroff. Included is a makefile which uses its own macro package to do the typesetting. When I execute this, I get output which does bold face with a sequence of backspaces and reprinting, and underlines with backspaces and underscores. The page breaks come out as large numbers of blank lines. I would like to get output which does not include any backspace overprint sequences, and which uses ^L (form feed) characters for page breaks rather than lots of lines. I consulted the nroff man page and did not see any options which would achieve these effects. -- Please mail responses to theorem@blake.u.washington.edu.
