I got the system manuals from NET2's /usr/src/share/doc and
tried to run make to create a printable output of those manuals.
As it turns out the make includes bsd.doc.mk which isn't setup
for 386bsd and groff and friends. I know very little about groff,
but it seems that just running something like
groff -Tascii -t xyz
should give an approximation of the output. Groff complains about
not finding special characters "dg" and "dd" and font file "S" ???
Try it by cd-ing into /usr/src/share/doc/smm/02.config and running
groff -Tascii -t *.t|more.
Also the output isn't really readable. I tried also with -Tps and
looked at the output with Ghostscript, which showed only garbage.
Also the makefiles use roff macro files I don't have e.g. "sU".
Has anybody out there tried this before?
