TFORMCVT: Converting From TGAL to TFORM

TOPMARGIN Command
\TOPMARGIN int
The TFORMCVT output is:
\STYLE MARGIN TOP ( int -3) LINES
Tips
TFORMCVT subtracts three lines from the number specified in the
TGAL Command, since TGAL assumes the top margin includes 3 lines
at the top of each page (the HEAD line, the SUBHEAD line, and a
blank line) but TFORM doesn’t.
The STYLE command must follow a page break to work the same way
as TOPMARGIN. If a NEW command does not directly precede the
TOPMARGIN command, with no intervening text or SPACE
commands, the translated command is followed by the message:
WARNING **** COMMMAND MUST FOLLOW \NEW COMMAND. LINE n
