Folks,


the search order for tmac files (as documented in troff.man) is

  1. directories given with the -M command line option
  2. directories given in the GROFF_TMAC_PATH environment variable
  3. the current directory (only if in unsafe mode)
  4. the home directory
  5. a site-dependent directory, e.g. /usr/local/lib/groff/site-tmac
  6. a local directory, e.g. /usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac
  7. the standard directory, e.g. /usr/local/share/groff/1.19.3/tmac

I think there is a logical error, and 5 should be exchanged with 6 to
have an order with the decreasing priority.

If noone objects, I'll reverse it accordingly.
