[net.unix-wizards] me macros and indexes

padpowell (09/16/82)

I would like to find if there is a "new improved" version of the -me
macro package.  I have found all sorts of little horrors in our distributed
version;  there must be a troff wizard out there who has removed even more.
Also: the use of the .tm macro and diverting the output to a file,
which is then read by troff is crude, rude, vulgar, and nauseating. But
it works, especially if you want to do a sorted key index.
Also, does anybody have any ideas how to "reserve a blank page"
and put a title at the bottom, like: Figure 6.2?  I have fought and lost
on this one...
