[net.bugs.4bsd] '@' not handled properly by new -man

storm@diku.UUCP (Kim Fabricius Storm) (02/14/85)

[[b]eat me]

Description:
	The "new" -man [nt]roff package uses '@' internally as a text
	delimiter causing troubles with hanging tags containing one.
	You will also have troubles with manuals for programs having
	'@' in their name.

Repeated-by:
	Include the lines

		.TP
		@ this is a very long hanging tag
		so this should be written on a separate line

	in a manual text.  The second text line will be written on the
	same line as the tag.

Fix:
	Replace all occurrences of '@' by '^G' (BEL) in
	/usr/lib/tmac/tmac.an.new
