I have a design document that I need to output in two forms: as a
properly typeset PostScript file (troff) and in plain text (nroff). I
want the latter not to have page breaks. I've tried a number of
things, but I have two problems:
1. I can't find a number register than I can tweak to change the page
height. The ones I find are read-only and can only be set from
the command line.
2. The document contains footnotes. If I do set a large page size
from the command line, I have to guess it exactly, or I end up
with a footnote separated from the rest of the document by a lot
of white space.
Any ideas? I'm looking for a solution to my original problem, but it
would also be nice to know how to reset page height from within a
document.
