Mark is right.  It works just fine on the 3B1.  Thanks to him and also
to ilan343 at berkeley.violet.edu for making the same suggestion, as well
as to Wolf Paul, who suggested a nroff post-processor, such as that found
in the comp.sources.unix "nroffgraphics" tools (volume 15) and Stephen J.
Friedl, who sent some actual code he wrote.  It's really to have you guys
out there - your suggestions saved me a lot of time and aggravation!
