At long last I've been cornered by someone with nontrivial knowledge of how
nroff operates, requesting that I help. So, I've got some homework to do.
However, tripping through the code for nroff is not my idea of a blast,
so here I am....

The problem is that I need to build the software required to use the
proportional spacing of a daisy-wheel printer. That's specific. In
general, I want to know how the nroff terminal tables are formatted (i.e.,
how do I add a new one), what specifically the -T options do within nroff,
and what the filters accept for input and do for output. I have seen
a lot of such requests going around, so I believe someone has the data
I need... I would appreciate whatever can be passed along.
