I read comp.text regularly in USENET ... and I am hoping that you can provide
some help with a problem that I am having locating some [nt]roff macros ...
In May of 1988, Steve Ring of Compugraphic Corp., Wilmington, Mass,
posted an offer, in the comp.text newsgroup, to post "a comprehensive
set of -ms macros that do automatic table of contents generation".
Along with his offer, he posted the man pages for his macro package.
Then, as (un)luck would have it, a news feed upstream went dead for a couple
of weeks! So we missed the posting of the actual macros.
I tried to contact Steve Ring via email -- got "unknown user" error. So I tried
telephoning Compugraphic -- only to be told that "he no longer works here".
I sent paper mail, hoping that it would be forwarded ... but no luck.
I am hoping to find someone that saved the macros and would be willing
to email them to me.
Thanks for any help that you can provide!

I too would like to see them. Why not just post the things?

From the email I have received, a concluding update would probably be of
interest:
I never did locate the macros.
If I do find them, I will notify those who expressed an interest and we can go
from there. However, I don't think that there is much hope of locating them ...
