Generating AdressLabels - Remain on 1 line the adressline

Hi Groffers,

I have a question.
I'm doing some address printing. For the moment I use enscript in a
bashscript for this.
With enscript I can detect when I have a input line that doesn't fit on 1
line of the label. Enscript has a flag that it creates a second page on
overflow to put the rest of the input line on.
With this function I can detect if I still have 1 page in my postscript
file. If it doesn't I adjust the font size. So to fit the addressline on 1
page.
Is this something that could also be achieved with groff.
Because that would mean I got a lot more flexibility for the layout of the
labels than with enscript.
But it is important that the lines from the ascii input file matches the
same amount of output lines.

Any ideas ?

Kind regards
Wim Stockman
