I agree.
Also, some of the manual pages reference Bell Labs Technical
Reports or other papers that are hardly ever installed on any
system. N

Of course not. #! has nothing to do with the shell. It is interpreted by exec.

hello groffers,
I wrote the following code to illustrate the DOD model encapsulation.
sadly: the label of the layers are not centred. it seems to be relative
to the fact i use a function as it works fine when i replace
label_for(layer) by a simple string
like
box width w height margin \
While I don't have any suggestions as how to fix this, I did try it with
Heirloom troff, and it seems to have the same unwanted non-centering result
as groff.

It looks like pic has no string variables, and the "if"
works at the statement level, not expression level.

Remember that macros work by substitution. So each line of label_for
becomes a separate line in the macro-expanded program. A label alone
on a line gets plotted at the current point, which in this case is
last box.e. (The macro definition begins with an empty line. If it
didn't, then the case-0 li
