From: utzoo!henry Newsgroups: advising Title: PL inside KE-EK Article-I.D.: utzoo.2875 Posted: Wed Mar 16 21:34:51 1983 Received: Wed Mar 16 21:34:51 1983 In format, changing the page length (.PL) inside a keep (.KE-.EK) can really mess things up. It can make nroff croak with a very uninformative message, or do other unkind things like silently producing no output whatsoever. This combination cropped up in an attempt to squeeze a bit more text onto a page (so that a small change could be incorporated without messing up later pagination).
