For FreeBSD-originated manpages, it looks like the line length is taken from the .ll and .lt definitions in /usr/share/tmac/mdoc/doc-nroff . If you comment them out, you get the groff default width of 6 inches. I don't know if groff can pull values from environment variables or the physical TTY. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
