   For kicks I have been trying to get nroff on my Xenix box
to handle the proportional character mode on my dot-matrix
printer.  I haven't had much luck in figuring out the nroff
term variables.  I know what the documentation says but
when does nroff use Char, Adj, Em, Hor, Ver and plot mode?

  All the experimenting I have done hasn't been able to
uncover their relationships.  Has anyone used this feature?

Thanks,
Larry Plona
