I recently installed Version 1.04  of GROFF from pub/3b1/groff-bin.tar.Z
on csbax.cs.caltech.edu.  Although I can specify upper and lower case
Roman numerals [%i|%I], upper and lower alphabetic enumeration [%a|%A],
and in text [author,year], I can not get Arabic numerals (1,2,3, ...)
from grefer for citation referencing.  I get '*d' instead--for every
reference! What option or in text commands do I need to use?
(I can use the old UNIX refer programs as a work around; it
works with groff.)

======An annotated example of output from grefer (Version 1.04)
Nonuniform Rational B-spline Surfaces (NURBS).\*([.*d\*(.]
                                              Why--^^--?
.ds [F *d
       ^^--?
======End

Thank you,
