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).

Hello. A while back., I was able to access the mbits(6) man page from
via my web browser. Now it seems to have gone away, and the site's
robots.txt doesn't let archive.org return results. Does anyone know
what happened to it? Thanks.
