Hi everyone,

I'm doing some work at school and we don't have TROFF installed on our ULTRIX
workstations.  I got tr2tex from some ftp site compiled it, but it won't define
TROFF macros. 

I'm trying to output the TROFF manual to elm.  Unfortunately, it requires a
preprocessed macro called "tmac.n" to define all the macros.  Also it needs to
be run thru tbl.  Everytime I run tr2tex on tmac.n it gets dumped because it
doesn't convert the macros.  So when I go to convert the document itself, I get
a million non-defined macros and the program dumps!  

Does anybody have a fix to this.  I'd like not to have to write code to
intercept the macro calls and convert them into a TeX macro...

Teddy
