Subject: [9fans] plan9 ms .if h test
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:55:58 +0200 [thread overview]

I searched where the register h is defined:
% 9 grep -n '.nr h ' tmac.*
tmac.cs:103: .nr h 6
tmac.cs:477: . nr h \\ne \}
tmac.mcs:208: .nr h 6
tmac.mcs:840: .nr h \\ne
where h has the same meaning:
'''\" h - cover sheet basic distribution length
Both tmac.cs and tmac.mcs load tmac.s in their inicialization so
probably h only have sense when tmac.cs or tmac.mcs are used.
I think that if you are only using the ms macros then h is not
important because is not defined.
Cheers.
pmarin.
