Hello,
please, I am having the following problem. With a troff -ms document
(named 't') like this
.LP
aaa
.sp |0i
bbb
I expected bbb to appear at the top of the page. Exactly this happens in groff:
groff -ms t > t.ps
however not with
9 troff -ms t |tr2post > t.ps.
I don't know why...
Thanks
Ruda

The same problem appears with the Heirloom troff, too.
It seems, however, that when
.sp |0i
is replaced with
.sp |0.0001i
the result is as expected. Only the zero value does not work...
