Message-ID: <eb39dbbd5cc75cbf671532d0e4867cce@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)
mbits(6) existed in Tenth Edition Unix but I can't find any evidence
that it was ever part of Plan 9. The actual macros,
/sys/lib/tmac/tmac.bits, do exist in Plan 9, but they assume the
existence of a postprocessor named /usr/lib/btroff. mpictures(6) is
probably the closest modern analogue of mbits, and is suggested as an
alternative in mbits(6).
