Nroff sticks in the two spaces for a period, possibly for an exclamation point or question mark as well, but not for a sentence that ends in a double quote mark or a close parenthesis. This is despite the fact that these are perfectly legal formations. ______________________________________ The overworked keyboard of Tim Maroney duke!unc!tim (USENET) tim.unc@udel-relay (ARPA) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
