Actually, I claim that Bill's fix to pic/pltroff.c is wrong. The comment
says:
/* internal troff limit: 13 bit for motion */
This means that the size of the bit field for representing motions inside
of old TROFF is 13 bits. In typesetter-independent, this field was
changed to 15 bits. Thus the line should be:
if (xconv(xmax) >= 32728 || yconv(ymax) >= 32768) { /* ... */
This internal representations are discussed in Kernighan's report
"A Typesetter Independent TROFF" (Bell Labs CS TR 97).
