[comp.unix.questions] -mm troff macros

al@morgana.nothing (Al Petrofsky) (06/22/91)

I have some documentation formatted with these, but they don't seem to
exist under BSD, Ultrix, or SunOs.  Are they a system V thing?  Where
can I get them?
Thanks,
al

The PWB Memorandum Macros (troff -mm) are part of AT&T's Documenter's
WorkBench package, which is available under license from AT&T for a
reasonable fee, and is also available from several third-party vendors
of enhanced DWB packages.  Some computer vendors offer DWB as a
supported add-on; Sun is not among these.

They are part of the SV Documenter's Workbench(DWB). SoftQuad Corp.
sells a package based on troff 2.0 which includes the mm macros.
I don't know of any public domain versions of the macros.

Unfortunatly, I do not have their business card handy or I would
provide their email address and/or phone number. Send me mail to
remind me and I'll find it if your interested.
