They really shouldn't be there unless you've specified -Taps as the device. There is a macro ")k" that makes cut marks, but the last line of /usr/lib/macro/mmt should get rid of it automatically: .if !^G\*(.T^Gaps^G .rm)k I don't know why you'd get the cut marks otherwise. -- Rick Richardson, President, PC Research, Inc.
