Sorry if that shows.] Leaving page break computations to the laser printer to save cpu time during formatting doesn't seem practical to me. The formatter has to know where the line breaks come in order to determine the page length so that it can output footnotes and figures that are supposed to come at the bottom of a page, doesn't it?
