If you only want to set a very long page length, or an end of input
trap, for `nroff' output and not troff then use a

    .if n ...do nroff-only things...

There's a matching `t' as well that's only true if we're troff.  That
way your PostScript output can be paged, and your terminal output not.

Cheers,
Ralph.
