troff2lj problems

[Fish-Guts]

This may or may not help, but here I go anyways.  BTW, I am running
troff2lj on a VAX running Unix 4.3BSD.

     I had a problem with the text coming out with bad margins on the
left side and some overstruck characters on the right side.  This
turned out not to be a problem with troff2lj, but rather it was bad
troff macro package definitions, particularily -man.  What was
happening was that (in the macro package) .ll was being used to change
the default line length to be longer, but .po (page offset, i.e. left
margin) was *not* being changed to reflect this.  This really messed
up troff. 

     Like I said, this may or may not help.
