NAME
       ms - macros for formatting manuscripts

SYNOPSIS
       nroff -ms [ options ] file ...
       troff -ms [ options ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       This  package of nroff and troff(1) macro definitions provides a canned
       formatting facility for technical papers in various formats.

       The macro requests are defined below.  Many nroff  and  troff  requests
       are unsafe in conjunction with this package, but the following requests
       may be used with impunity after the first .PP:

       Output of the eqn(1), tbl(1),  pic(1)  and  grap(1)  preprocessors  for
       equations, tables, pictures, and graphs is acceptable as input.

FILES
       /sys/lib/tmac/tmac.s
