Message-ID: <39425.66.222.64.178.1168313638.squirrel@66.222.64.178> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <33689.66.222.64.178.1168229202.squirrel@66.222.64.178>
The Tenth Edition manual doesn't have mm (in the second volume at least)
and the troff manual only helps if one wants to make a new manual page (my
start at one is at contrib/btdn/man/6/mm)
To be more concrete, it would be nice to either have
"MM - Memorandum Macros. D. W. Smith, J. R. Mashey, E. C. Pariser, and N.
W. Smith, AT&T Bell Laboratories, June 1980." or mm(6). I suppose
<http://inetsd01.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/hu_HU/cmds/aixcmds5/troff.htm>
will do for now...
I have started an index file of the various things in /sys/lib/tmac at
contrib/btdn/doc/tmac -- if you have an account you can update it
yourself, or you can email me corrections. Some of the things can probably
be deleted, at least from the view of someone outside of Bell Labs. No
offence to Arun N. Netravali, but are (complet cover)^.1127 needed?
tmac.org is just a .so to /usr/lib/macros/org.
And in case no one has noticed, the sources website doesn't work.
