This shouldn't happen, of course.well, I'll try: I can only track down this to the step where the `refer' ms-macros are inserted (i.e. the `refer' output for my original document). the relevant modified excerpt from the latter is: .\"------------------------------------------------------------------ .nr PS 12 .nr VS \n(PS+2 .SH References .ds REFERENCES .]< .\"stewarteechenxhadwayjleetystewart2006 .ds [F Stewart\~2006 .]- .ds [A Stewart, EE, Chen, X, Hadway, J, Lee, TY .ds [D 2006 .ds [J Radiology .ds [K PAPER .ds [L Stewart2006 .ds [N 239(3) .ds [P 740-50 .nr [P 1 .ds [T Correlation between hepatic tumor blood flow and glucose utilization in a rabbit liver tumor model .nr [T 0 .nr [A 0 .][ 1 journal-article .]> .lf 1750 ././master.tr .\"------------------------------------------------------------------ (and I'm using 1.19.3.) when formatting this with groff -ms I get the postscript file as per the (hopefully not stripped) attachment tt.ps. when formatting the above piece with 1.19.2 on a different machine I got a different ps-output (tt2.ps). so, I suspect the problem is in the ms-definitions for the macro(s) `][' (and others?). hope you can reproduce the problem, otherwise please tell me what else you need. thanks, joerg
