Or at least not in MY nroff output. Of these 4 lines, the only one that exceeds 80 columns in my nroff is the last one (which I have just shortened by replacing "berkeley.edu" with "sun.com" both there and in the discussion that follows it). The others run 75 to 78 columns. All of these lines occur in indented or titled paragraphs (-man macros' .IP or .TP directives), so I suggest you check what default indentations your -man macros use. On Berkeley-derived systems, at least, you can change the indentation by resetting the )R number register (yes, open-paren R). -- Bart Schaefer "Miserable miscreant! Question MY integrity, will you?"
