[comp.text] Floating Displays with MM macros

arunc@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (07/18/89)

I am trying to get two full-page floating displays to output on
sequential pages in nroff (using the mm macros) and it seems impossible.

What I want is: page 1: text
		page 2: display
		page 3: display
		page 4: continued text

What I get is:  page 1: text
		page 2: display
		page 3: continued text
		page 4: display

This happens when I place the DF commands on sequential lines, or
if I separate them with some text.
I have tried setting the Df number register to all the values from 1 to
7 (its limits), but none of them gives me what I need.

Any suggestions?
