The first run will produce a large number of error messages,
nearly all beginning with "unresolved cross reference". These
should gradually go away on later runs. The following shows the
-error message output on the fifth run for A4 size printing:
-
-lout file "cpp_tabs" (from "cpp" line 80, from "all" line 45):
- 56,23: prg2lout 2,1: program text ended within comment
- 58,35: prg2lout 2,1: program text ended within comment

-These two warnings point to two places where a C program text ended
-inside a comment, which in these cases was deliberate so is no problem.

+The first three warnings are about footnotes whose first lines did not
+fit on the bottom of the current page, so had to begin on the following
+page. The last two warnings point to two places where a C program text
+ended inside a comment, which in these cases was deliberate. If you set
+the document in Letter size paper, you will also get different warning
+messages pointing to places where Lout had to slightly scale a display

Optimal page breaking has been turned off for this document owing to
repeated failure to converge, caused by footnotes and floating figures
close to large unbreakable displays.
