Not exactly true. If you don't have ditroff and do have a Symbolics
Laser Graphics Printer, the filter that converts CAT magic cookies
to LGP magic cookies ("catlgp") demands the presence of cut marks
to decide when to eject to a new page.

(Not my fault, I didn't write it! (How does the Imagen software handle
this?))
