Very nice!  Thanks!

It would be nice if NetBSD somehow still supported the original AT&T
troff compatible mdoc macros so that those of us using NetBSD as a
development platform could more easily maintain compatability for our
own documents.

Ideally NetBSD would support this natively, though if that seems too
difficult then perhaps we can create a package for the old macros.

(and of course I mean the really ancient original macros, not the
modified ones NetBSD has provided until now :-)

Thank you!  :-)


BTW, have you ever considered migrating to the fully internationalized
Plan-9 troff now that it appears to be available under a very BSD-like
license?  I started looking at porting it to NetBSD but I need to get a
lot more familiar with the Plan-9 UTF support.
