I am trying to adapt an existing nroff driver to suit a xerox 4045 laser 
printer (or xerox 2700), from an IBM 6150 (PC - RT) running AIX (System V Unix).

I would like to have a full description of the meanings of the various 
entries in struct termtable (i.e. bset, breset, etc). Some of the entries
appear to be obvious (but may not be!), whilst others are quite cryptic. I am
told by our local unix support team that this question has come up many times,
but there is no description anywhere of the relevant entries. Surely this
cannot be correct!?
