I recently acquired some documentation which is written with *roff
formatting commands. There is an instruction in the starting part of
the document that tells me to run "ditroff -ms -Pip2 <filename>" to
print the document.
The "-ms" argument translates to groff OK, it says to use the macros
in /share/groff/tmac/tmac.s, but the "-Pip2" argument seems to
generate a message from grotty: "can't open `ip2'". If I add the
parameter "-Tps" to print to Postscript, grops gives the same message
about `ip2'.
TIA for any advice or info on this. BTW, just what does "ditroff"
stand for, anyway? "display troff", maybe? Or "device independant
troff"? Or what?
