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? -- Jim Sanchez {sun,hplabs}!sytek!syteke!jim OR Hughes LAN Systems, Brussels mcvax!prlb2!sunbim!syteke!jim

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 ...
