Description D. Hugh Redelmeier 2001-02-05 16:00:59 EST 
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
Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2001-02-14 07:13:57 EST 
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.
Comment 2 D. Hugh Redelmeier 2001-03-23 15:02:01 EST 
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.  For
example:
