I wonder if anyone used 'http://iwp9.org/macros.ms'
in their troff source files? I can make troff output
look like the example paper 'Real-time.pdf', but it
would be nifty to use the macros in the suggested
macro file for auto numbering of figures and tables.

Alas, there is no source file using those macros on
iwp9.org as far as I can see, and they are confusing
me a bit. I could dig deeper into the macros, or just
roll with the standard 'ms' package, as I have done
that before. But maybe someone used the macros, an
has a example.ms file to share?

I'm far from a troff expert, but it seems like these
are intended to be a drop in replacement for the ms
package, just without page numbers.

I've been using them that way, and they seem to work.
