correctly-written dvi driver. The troff drawing primi-
tives are implemented using the tpic version 2 specials.

opposite corner at the current position +(_

Afterwards the current position will be at the
opposite corner. This produces a rule in the dvi

Macros for use with g
\bgr
\bro
\bod
\bdv
\bvi
\bi.
Dvi files produced by g
\bgr
\bro
\bod
\bdv
\bvi
\bi use a different resolution
(57816 units per inch) to those produced by TeX. Incor-
rectly written drivers which assume the resolution used by
TeX, rather than using the resolution specified in the dvi
file will not work with grodvi.
When using the -
\b-d
\bd option with boxed tables, vertical and
horizontal lines can sometimes protrude by one pixel.
This is a consequence of the way TeX requires that the
heights and widths of rules be rounded.
