"troff" does not know about "portrait" vs. "landscape"; it merely produces instructions for subsequent typesetting. It does have default assumptions about page size, margins, etc. but these can be overridden. How you tell your troff postprocessor to use a landscape mode is dependent on the particular postprocessor. Here is how I usually do this, but odds are you need to adapt this for your particular environment. Note also that some implementations of "tbl" have inappropriate line-length limits built into them; these are easily enlarged if you have source code. troff -Ti300 -rL8.5i -rW9i -mm my_file | dimp -L
