I have been trying to figure out how to change the header that the .TH macro produces to something like 'CAEN Technical Note', instead of the usual 'Unix Programmer's Manual'. Any ideas? I've looked at the /usr/lib/macros/an file, and am completely clueless as to what every- thing in there means. I see the '.deTH' line, but everything subsequent is a jumble of backslashes, parenthesis, and brackets as far as I'm concerned. Any insights on how this macro does it's magic? Thanks for your help. Please send repies through E-mail, since I don't usually keep abreast of this newsgroup. Thanks!

Thanks! > I had the same question once and noticed that on a SUN the .TH command had the following options: .TH n c x v m with the explanation of: Begin page named "n" of chapter "c." The "x" argument is for extra commentary for the center page footer. The "v" argument alters the left portion of the page footer. The "m" argument alters the center protion of the page header. The .TH command line also incidentally sets the prevailing indent and tabs to .5i. I mainly use UNIX System V release 2 on a VAX 750. I tried the SUN .TH format on it and found that it works except the "v" parameter does not seem to work for me, however, it is a positional parameter that is needed. I use things like .TH sample 1 "Sterling Software" "" "Configuration Management" Experiment using the SUN format and you may find that you do not need to change the man macros. -- Dale Miller UUCP: dale@ssbell Sterling Software FSG/IMD INTERNET: dale%ssbell.uucp@uunet.uu.net 1404 Ft.
