Has anyone gotten the multi-page table macros of System 5's MM 
macro package to work under a non-System 5 nroff?

I have been trying to get the right combination of System 5 and 4.1BSD
or 4.2BSD "nroff" and "tbl" programs  to work with the MM macros as
distributed under System 5, and more specifically, to be able to use
the 	.TS H and .TH macros for multiple page tables with a common
header, and have not been having too much luck.

Anyone else trying this? C One of the problems that seem to crop up
with the System 5 macros is that it causes the "Out of temp file space"
or "Too many string/macro names" error on the 32V nroff, and the
System 5 nroff has its' own set of peculiarities...  Maybe I'd have
better luck with Ditroff and/or the S5R2 stuff...

The only bugfix I've seen on something similar to this is the
article dated Jan 9, 1984 from smoot@ut-sally.ARPA, which refers to
the "\g" format request being missing.

Any hints would be 
appreciated
