The -Z option to groff shows what grotty sees. It's line 7 of this, the
`DFd' that's causing the warning.
$ grotty <tab3 | cat -s
grotty:tab:7: character above first line discarded
UEBERSCHRIFT
a b c d
a b c d
a b c d
$ head tab3 | cat -n
1 x T ascii
2 x res 240 24 40
3 x init C
4 F tab
5 p1
6 F tab
7 DFd
8 x font 1 R
9 f1
10 s10
$
$ sed '7s/^/#/' tab3 | grotty | cat -s
UEBERSCHRIFT
a b c d
a b c d
a b c d
Don't know why but this might help someone else looking.
Cheers,
Ralph.
