Actually, it is relatively simple to get SCO's troff to work
with the -me macros. You need to edit the macros so that constructions
of the form:
.if .... \{ ... \}
become:
.if ... \{
...
\}
Here is the text of an earlier msg that explains the solution:
]The problem is with the .if directive. In fact, the first offender is
]one of the first ones in tmac.e. You cannot continue a .if with a
]backslash, unless you also use braces around the body. I'm not sure if
]the opening brace must appear on the same line or not.
]
]Anyway, I was finally able to get it working just by editing the .if stuff.
