Re: [Groff] multiple EPS images placed on a page

[Dean Allen Provins]

Readers:

For the record, HDTBL works just fine.  I ended up with code like the
following (for A0 paper):

  .po    1c
  .sp   |0.5c
  .TBL cols=12 width='9.7c'
  .ll    116c
  .pl    116c
  .TR
  .TD
  .PSPIC file.eps 9.7c
  .TD
  ....  more .TD, .PSPIC lines
  .TR
  .TD
  .PSPIC anotherfile.eps 9.7c
  .TD
  .nop  \" when no EPS file is needed here
  ...
  .ETB

And executed groff as:

  groff  -mhdtbl  -P-l -P-p -PA0 file.ms > file.ps

to get a nice landscape plots with a maximum of 12 columns (some had no
EPS files).

The only concern was a multitude of error messages:

  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:24: Table width larger than column width.
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:24: multiplication overflow
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:24: division by zero
    --- last 2 lines repeated many times ---
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:24: multiplication overflow
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:24: division by zero
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:29: numeric overflow
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:31: numeric overflow
  MANNVILLE_BLUESKY-GLAUCONITE.ms:33: numeric overflow
    --- last line repeated to the end of input ---

where line 24 was the .TBL line above, and lines 29, 31, 33 and all
PSPIC lines thereafter were the 'numeric overflow' lines.

None seemed to do any harm, but clearly there is a problem.

Regards and thanks for the help,

Dean
