I am trying to print out some documentation that was written using the troff -ms macros. When I run troff with the -ms flag I get: troff: cannot open file /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.s Sounds to me like I'm missing the s macro set. Is this a standard macro?? Is it freely available anywhere? I would especially be interested in sites accesable via mail. I don't have ftp access. Thanks Kevin -- Kevin Meek kmeek@cti.com

It's reasonably standard, but it is AT&T licensed software and is not freely available. We ship an emulation for a small subset of -ms with C News (doc/tmac.cn). Awf (comp.sources.unix last summer) also supports a subset of -ms. I'm not aware of anything more complete. -- "But this *is* the simplified version | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology for the general public." -S. Harris | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it will only work with their gtroff program, so you'll need to install the whole thing to get it to work... -- More information that you couldn't have existed another day without, from: Jason Molenda, Tech Support, Iris & News Admin, Minnesota Supercomputer Inst molenda@s1.msi.umn.edu || molenda%msi.umn.edu@umnacvx.bitnet "And remember: Evil will always prevail, because Good is dumb." -- Spaceballs

It only works with groff, but it does look complete. Rich Stevens
