[comp.text] eqn problem

roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu (Roy Smith) (03/08/91)

	Can anybody figure out why the following should give me a syntax
error between lines 2 and 3 when I run it through eqn?  I get the same
results on SunOS-3.5.2 and MtXinu-4.3BSD/NFS.

.EQ
matrix {
	ccol { 0 above x }
	ccol { 1 above y }
	}

Looks like EQN doesn't like tabs that the beginnings of lines.
