I usually use -me with VTROFF and I have been having a lot of trouble getting a title page right, in that my vertical spacing commands are not honored, at least the first one. Have I missed something or is this just a problem. Thanks Robert Field Qume, San Jose

NEW IMPROVED -ME PACKAGE AVAILABLE! This little gem consists of the -me macro package provided in the 4.1BSD distribution, with many of the wierd bugs removed (and some new ones introduced). The main contributions are the following: 1. A new macro (.qs, .qe) for doing diversions with some good degree of control. Makes sorted indexes easy to generate. 2. A new set of "hooks" for doing section and page headings, that allow the user greater control over the format. 3. A new macro (.fx) which will reset the internal variables to some "predefined" set of values. This is invaluable if, like me, you have a tendency to screw up some of the settings. DESPERATE PLEA! In exchange for this little wonder, I want a fix to allow the -me macros to coexist in peace with the EQN, REFER, and TBL packages. Down with people who redefine "standard" macros!
