Can someone please E-mail the manual page for the manual page macros (an)?
We have the macros and lots of examples, but it would still be nice
to have a complete description. Also, is the software to generate
the 'permuted index' and the alphabetic index found in many Unix manuals PD?

Unfortunately, System V Release 1 seems to have been the last version that provided it. "nroff" and company were unbundled into the Documenter's Workbench as of System V Release 2, and the DWB source doesn't seem to have them. If you can get your hands on an S5R1 source tape, look under "/usr/man/tools" and read "/usr/man/READ.ME" for a description. It also came with V7; I think it was in "/usr/man/man0" (it's there in 4.2BSD). -- Guy Harris {ihnp4, decvax, seismo, decwrl, ...}!sun!guy guy@sun.com (or guy@sun.arpa)
