NAME
ms - macros for formatting manuscripts
SYNOPSIS
nroff -ms [ options ] file ...
troff -ms [ options ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
This package of nroff and troff macro definitions provides a
canned formatting facility for technical papers. When pro-
ducing 2-column output on a terminal, its output should be
filtered through col (I).
The package supports three different formats: BTL technical
memorandum with cover sheet, released paper with cover
sheet, and an abbreviated `debugging' form without cover
sheet.
The macro requests are defined in the attached Request Ref-
erence. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in con-
junction with this package, however the requests listed
below may be used with impunity after the first .PP.

Output of the eqn, neqn and tbl (I) preprocessors for equa-
tions and tables is acceptable as input.
