Our 4.2 system now has a /usr/doc half full of troff sources that we can't re-troff because the '.TM' screws up the format (Bell thought TMs should be single spaced, Berkeley thinks TMs should be double spaced). Does anyone know if the Berkeley folk were thoughtful enough to provide some way to make '.TM' work in the original 'bell' way? Or is there some known 'improvement' to the macros to restore the old way it worked? Thanks /Bernie cosell@bbn-unix
