I have been trying to convert the ../news/doc/*.mn files using nroff & troff
into readable/printable files. Is there supposed to be a file explaining the
steps to accomplish this tasks. I have tried just kicking off the Makefile,
but the output is sent to the screen, not to a file. If I redirect the output
to a file, I cannot cat output file (or pg) without junk appearing here and
there. I have tried using troff/nroff manually without using the tmac.n filter
but then there are no tabs or inserts to make the document professional looking.
Any comments, or helpful statements welcome. Other than read the
nroff/troff/manroff/deroff manuals. It's like learning another language.
There must be a simple way just to get a decent output file or printout.
