I wanted to print out the documentation for the RCS
system recently posted in comp.sources.unix
Ack!* No ms macros on my system. Does anybody
know how I can get an appropriate version of these
that'll work with the existing nroff on my 3b1?
(I don't have the time or diskspace to try groff right now)

But if/when you try groff, the ms macros need to either be renamed, or to be called as -mgs. They are in /usr/local/lib/groff/tmac as tmac.gs, and should be renamed as tmac.s to work. I'd send you the tmac.mgs file, but it is documented internally as being dependant on gtroff, so they wouldn't work for you without groff. If you're close enough to make an exchange of floppys practical, I could give you the binarys for groff, or you could get them from osu-cis. (I remember a posting that someone had put groff binaries there.)

(I remember a posting that someone had put >groff binaries there.) Binaries for groff (current version 1.01) can be found in the directory pub/3b1 on csvax.cs.caltech.edu. Other goodies are there too. On most other machines one finds ms macros, and the alternate naming for the GNU version allows for both to easily exist. On the 3b1 one might as well make tmac.s a link to tmac.gs. Andy Fyfe andy@cs.caltech.edu
