GROFF VERSION:
1.17

MACHINE:
Sony PCV-J100

OS:
Microsoft Windows 2000 SP1 with UWIN 2.9
(see http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/)

COMPILER:
Microsoft VC++ 6.0 SP5 with UWIN front end

INPUT FILES:
===================== mantest.1 =================================
.TH foo
.tm register LL should be set to 6.5i: \n(LLu
.tm registers IN = \n(INu, PS = \n(INu, SN = \n(SNu
=================================================================

COMMAND LINE:
groff -man < mantest.1 > /dev/null

DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:
Register LL (line length) should be set to 6.5 inches. It is zero.
Register IN (indent) etc. are OK, so it's not a general register issue.

command line output (stderr):

register LL should be set to 6.5i: 0u
registers IN = 36000u, PS = 36000u, SN = 15000u


SUGGESTED FIX [optional]:
