THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 6.4 RELEASE
There seems to be a problem with printing equations from troff, which Bill
Cattey has told me resulted from two incompatible versions of dtroff in
the 6.4 Release. I noticed this when I was trying to print an eq inset
from EZ, and am also concerned with people trying to print general documents
set in troff. I know that we don't support troff, but just yesterday I
assured a faculty member that he could receive a colleague's manuscript
and then edit and reprint it using our Athena facilities. The problem is
with how vertical spacing is handled.
