No. papersize.tmac is for troff, not for output devices. You
probably mean: Will grodvi also get a `-p' option to select the paper
size? Answer: Yes. :-)
grodvi will now emit
\X'papersize=width,height'
on the first page; at least dvips understand this and selects the
proper paper.

I won't remove the `paperlength' and `paperwidth' keywords from DESC.
