Given:  Troff document (-ms) with figures to be inserted later.  Each figure 
MUST appear on a separate page.  The tricky part is that each page MUST
contain a full page of text, and the figure page(s) MUST FOLLOW the reference
to the figure.  Using '.nr % +1' sometimes advances the page number
correctly, but because of the need for a full page of text occasionally
increments by two instead of one. An example follows:

       | page of text | Fig 1 | page of text | Fig 2  |Fig. 3|	

	     -1-          -2-       -3-          -4-    -5-
		       **skip**               **skip** **skip**


As you can see we fill a page with text and the follow it with the
figure(s).  Can someone help us with an appropriate macro.
