i would like very much to use memorandum macros with nroff and/or ptroff
on a sun 4.  unfortunately, when i do, i get unusable page numbers.  the
page numbers come out with about 102 leading zero's in spite of specifying
.af P 1 before any page numbers are printed.  the versions of mm that i
have been trying are 10.108 and 11.47.  i've noticed that the number
register P has a size of 3 (using the .pm call).

the files that i'm using work as expected with nroff and mm under two
other operating systems.  has anyone got any ideas on this one?  sid
