Joseph, I can't post on the net (software problem), but wonder if you
know or could ask on comp.sys.next if release 2.0 has solved the
problem with ptroff that resulted in the inability to format and print
landscape output.  I was able to rotate the output, but was limited to
the 7 inch line length (hardly worth rotating to get landscaped on the
left side of a landscaped page.)  

Could you check to see whether this problem has been overcome or
post a question on the net to see whether anyone else has been
troubled by this problem?  If one is not using the native Unix
parts of the box it is not a problem.

Thanks: Dick Jensen, jensen@ucsco.ucsc.edu
