Please DO use nroff sources. If you preformat them, you are making
assumptions about the printers we have. Our printer has a 72 line
page. You can imagine the hassle this can cause with preformatted
stuff.
That's the whole idea behind having a thing like nroff in the 1st place.
How on earth do AT&T process their manual pages?
