groff emulates the traditional UNIX troff and nroff environment. One part is the -ms macro package. The only ms documentation provided is groff_ms(7) which explains the differences from ms(7) and tells the reader to read ms(7). RHL7.0 does not include ms(7). Please add it. I read ms(7) from an old Solaris manual. It documented a number register PD. PD does not exist in groff's ms, nor is it documented as a difference. This issue came up because I was porting a document
If you know a good source for ms documentation, please open a new bugzilla report with an URL for it. I am more than happy to extend the docu beyond the info files etc.
It looks as if the traditional documentation is copyright Bell Labs and AT&T. It would probably be good to mention this in the See Also section of groff_ms(7). The man pages can be found on the web.
