Hi, I'm using non - standard FreeBSD console geometry (100x37) and just wonder how I can adjust groff configuration to format man pages for 100 columns instead of default 80. I've tried to add .ll macro to the end of the /usr/share/tmac/man.local but it seems doesn't have any visible effect :-(. Does anybody with more deep knowledge of groff could advice me on this issue? In general it would be nice if someone would teach man(1) to respect COLUMNS environmental variable - all xterm users would definitely benefit from that. -Maxim P.S.
