There is a postscript introduction for the -ms macros. They
are easy to use; it's easy to add you own macros without
disturbing -ms. They are easy to hack for specific needs.
The -mm macros have many features, but if you don't like
exactly what they can do, it's sad :-( (it's much more
easy to make -ms do what they aren't intended to do that
-mm ;-) I don't know -me but they seem to be interesting.

I write more than 50% of my docs without any macro package:
when I write a letter with only one page for instance, or
any short document. Think of it, because troff basic syntax
already very powerful is.
