Thanks. I now see that documented in the groff_man(7) manual. But the version I have says "If more than one manual page is given on the command line, ..." -- but you don't have to list them on the command line. I did: cat man8 | xargs cat | tbl | groff -Tps -man -rC1 > output.ps And that worked for me -- the page numbering didn't reset. (man8 is a small list of file names.) But if I use a larger list of files, it fails with: <standard input>:2885: fatal error: input stack limit exceeded (probable infinite loop) Doing it individually like I did before but with -rC1 also reset page number to one each time. I don't know how to increase the "input stack limit". I haven't tried latest groff. For now I am using NetBSD's version of groff 1.19.2.
