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.) -- [Erik Naggum] Naggum Software, Oslo, Norway
