Ralph, I'd like to see a couple papers cited, even though I know
of no URL's for them, on the hope that someday someone will see
them and donate electronic copies to the collection.

        MM - Memorandum Macros
        D. W. Smith, J.R. Mashey, E. C. Pariser (January 1980 Revision),
        N. W. Smith (June 1980 Revision), Bell Labs, Piscataway, NJ.

        Addendum to the Memorandum Macros User's Manual
        December, 1986.

-Rick

The last line of a right hand page should not end with a hyphen. This
has been a style rule for many years, yet it is amazing that most word
processors do not do this! I just smile when I pick up a book produced
with something like Frame and you immediately find these errors.
Needless to say, troff does this correctly, and has for 20+ years. A
friend commented to me that normal evolution would have gone Word to
Frame to troff, but instead, the computer industry has gone the other
way! -W. Richard Stevens, author of 7 popular technical books. [R.I.P.]
