Troff question

   A friend would like to do the following. He needs to be able to
   specify to troff the exact lines to be printed (i.e. no filling or at
   least no filling that borrows from the next line ) but he wants troff
   to left and right adjust (presumably by adjusting the spacing between
   words).

I don't think this can be done in any convenient way.  [nt]roff
refuses to fill lines it doesn't need to fill, which is basically what
you need before there is any point in adjusting.

Could you provide some information on the application for which your
friend wants this?  (There may be other ways to the solution that
exactly what he requests.)
