	Yes.  Use ".ls N".

	From the AT&T documentation that comes with HP's internal ditroff
	(see page 60 of the Nroff/Troff User Manual, Section 11.  Vertical
	Spacing Requests):

	.ls N 

	Line spacing set to +/- N.  Output N-1 blank lines (Vs) after each
	output text line.  If the text or previous appended blank line
	reached a trap position, appended blank lines are omitted.
	Relevant parameters are part of the current environment.

	A similar explanation of ".ls N" (along with many things mother
	(Bell) never mentioned about troff), also appears in "Unix Text
	Processing" by Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly, Hayden Books, 1987,
	highly recommended.

> Does anybody know how to remove this ["D R A F T"] notice?

	Yes.  Don't use the -rC4 flag.
