Re: [Groff] Poll on macros

[Meg McRoberts]

I've also used -mm for more than twenty years just because
that is what the AT&T UNIX documents, and then the SCO UNIX
documents were written in.  (Actually, SCO had an augmented
set of -mm macros, all based on Eroff.)  So it's easy and
familiar in a way that the others are not.
