groff
msSeveral macros described in the Unix Version 7 ms
documentation are unimplemented by groff
ms because they
are specific to the requirements of documents produced internally by
Bell Laboratories, some of which also require a glyph for the Bell
System logo that groff
does not support. These macros
implemented several document type formats
(EG
, IM
, MF
, MR
, TM
, TR
), were meaningful only in conjunction with the use of certain document
types
(AT
, CS
, CT
, OK
, SG
), stored the postal addresses of Bell Labs sites
(HO
, IH
, MH
, PY
, WH
), or lacked a stable definition over time
(UX
). To compatibly render historical ms documents using these macros,
we advise your documents to invoke the rm
request to remove any
such macros it uses and then define replacements with an authentically
typeset original at hand.17 For
informal purposes, a simple definition of UX
should maintain the
readability of the document’s substance.
