I have a large collection of files that are supposed to be typeset
with nroff.  Included is a makefile which uses its own macro package
to do the typesetting.  When I execute this, I get output which does
bold face with a sequence of backspaces and reprinting, and underlines
with backspaces and underscores.  The page breaks come out as large
numbers of blank lines.  
 
I would like to get output which does not include any backspace
overprint sequences, and which uses ^L (form feed) characters for page
breaks rather than lots of lines.  
 
I consulted the nroff man page and did not see any options which would
achieve these effects.
