The June 29 release of the mod.recipes software tickles a bug in the Adobe
Transcript program "ptroff", versions 1.0 and 2.0. This bug causes the "-t"
option to the recipe programs to fail. I will send the 1-line fix to anybody
who asks for it, and I will send the long drawn-out explanation of the fix
to anybody who asks for it (it is a fascinating and obscure bug). Since the
author of this package is known to be a mod.recipes reader, I am quite
confident that future releases of Transcript will incorporate the fix....
