   I think Dennis was talking about an earlier program, not troff.
   Troff does do line numbering in that style, using .nm and .nn.

I should have been clearer.  The program was just roff,
as mentioned in the 1st edition manual.  I don't have
(and don't actually remember) the "separate reference" for
roff the man page promises.
