[net.unix] Memos under 4.2BSD??

Perrine@LOGICON.arpa (Tom Perrine) (08/15/86)

I am trying to find a set of nroff/troff macros that are suitable
for generating memos. The "-ms" and "-me" macros don't seem to
useful for this.

With our old PWB (pre-version 7) UNIX system, we had a set of
nroff/troff macros (the "mm" macros) that accepted a ".MT" request that
could generate memos, released papers, technical memos, etc.  all from
the same input, that is, just by changing the memo-type.

Where did these macros go, and is there anything to replace them?

I know that I can generate my own memo boilerplates, but I don't
think I should have to.

Thanks for *any* info,
Tom Perrine

The -mm macros are distributed with Documenter's WorkBench (which split
off from UNIX System V as a separate add-on package).  You should be able
to obtain a System V Release 1 version from somebody if you have a source
license for that release of the OS.  (That's why they weren't in the
4BSD distribution, since it only required a UNIX/32V license.)
