[comp.text] Troff landscape

berlin@bu-cs.BU.EDU (David K. Fickes) (03/10/88)

Has anyone hacked a version of Troff to support landscape output??

I know Ditroff has this feature.. but I'm wondering if I can
get away without it....

Our enhanced DWB packaged EROFF has landscape
and two-up landscape.

No versions of ditroff that I am aware of support
landscape directly.

All you have to do is change t10.c so lines can be longer.  Here's how
we did this for a maximum line length of 11 inches:

% sccs diffs t10.c

------- t10.c -------
