[comp.text] mm macros

gjr@information-systems.east-anglia.ac.uk (Graham Reynolds CMP RA) (01/23/91)

I have a large document that is formatted using troff with the mm macro
package. A repeated problem I encounter when revising and reproducing the
document are orphans and widows (especially widows). I have not so far been
able to track down and eliminate the problem and wonder whether this
problem has been solved (for troff/mm). I believe I'm using an old version
of mm (although I don't have a version number).

If someone on this group has managed to get mm to handle this could they
possibly e-mail their solution. Alternatively, if someone has produced a
new paragraph troff request which solves the problem could they kindly send
a copy to me.

Deadlines are looming near for me on this document and I'd really like to
get it right this time, so any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
