[comp.unix.questions] big paper in DWB?

ldh@hcx1.SSD.HARRIS.COM (12/01/88)

I was wondering if there is a way to use DWB for paper sizes larger than 8.5x11
(legal ...or ledger).  Thanks

Sure.  Just tell troff what the page dimensions are (.pl, .ll directives).
If you're using a macro package, be sure to tell it too (for MM, this is
best done by preloading the L and W number registers via the command line).
