No.  papersize.tmac is for troff, not for output devices.  You
probably mean: Will grodvi also get a `-p' option to select the paper
size?  Answer: Yes.  :-)

grodvi will now emit

  \X'papersize=width,height'

on the first page; at least dvips understand this and selects the
proper paper.

I won't remove the `paperlength' and `paperwidth' keywords from DESC.
