[comp.windows.x] `make man.PS' in mit/doc/Xt/Xtman

earle@POSEUR.JPL.NASA.GOV (Greg Earle - Sun JPL on-site Software Support) (08/30/90)

If one does a `make man.PS' in mit/doc/Xt/Xtman, it tries to do a

	eqn Xt*.3Xt | psroff -t -man - > man.PS

i.e., it tries to coagulate all the pages together into one giant input.

I don't have `ditroff' so I can't use `psroff', but I used `ptroff' instead.
What I noticed is that if I did instead

	foreach i ( Xt*.3Xt )
	? eqn $i | ptroff -man -t - > /dev/null
	? end

i.e., do each separately, everything is fine.  But if I do the `make man.PS',
I get (for practically each file) something (eqn?  troff?) which complains

	Exception word list full.

Should I worry about this?  Is my man.PS file going to be `right' (I'd like to
not have to print 63-some-odd pages to find out that it's bad somewhere because
of this error message) or does this mean Bad Juju for my PostScript file?
