System V DWB 2.0 comes with only the mm macro package.  (Actually it
comes with a couple of others as well, but not 'ms' and 'me').  Yet I've
seen the occassional document written with 'ms' and/or 'me' macros. 

What are these other macro packages like to work with? Are they better
or just different.  Why would you use one over the other.  Most
importantly, can one get the 'ms' and 'me' macros with out spending a
lot of cash?

We are quite happy to continue to work with the 'mm' macros.  So it is
not that we *want* to switch, but rather *should* we switch?

Regards,
    Larry
