When using DWB 2.0 troff (ditroff) with the MM or MAN macro package, I get cut marks (--) on top of each page and at the end of the last page. or MAN These marks seem to be included because of using the macro package. Is there a nice method of letting these marks disappear? Of course I can hack the source of the macro package, or even filter the ditroff output, but...

Really, hacking the macro packages is pretty easy - only a line or two is changed. And if you're not planning to connect your computer to a phototypesetter anytime soon, nothing's lost. ----- David MacKenzie Environmental Defense Fund edf@rocky2.rockefeller.edu (...rutgers!cmcl2!rocky2!edf)

Is there a nice method of letting these marks disappear? Everybody having solved this problem already? ---------- One of the most frequently asked questions! Each of the macro packages seems to define a macro which produces these cut marks. If you do not want them simply use the ".rm" request at the top of your input to remove the offending macro. For MAN, the macro is called "}C"; for MM, it is called ")k". Michael

For the -me macros, just put .rm @m at the top of the input file. I'm not sure what the macro name is for the -mm macros, but you should be able to find it in the macros.
