After following up an earlier news item on nroff documentation, today I received my copy of Nancy Dawson, UNIX Word Processing at HAO, (For Use with the 4.2 BSD Version and -me Macro Package), National Center for Atmospheric Research Technical Note NCAR/TN-263 + IA, January 1986. It's a very well written and presented guide to troff'ing with the -ms package. Unfortunately we use the -mm package. Now Dawson refers to two publications which use the -ms package: Birns, Peter M, Patrick Brown, and John C C Muster, UNIX for People: a Modular Guide to the UNIX Operating System, Visual Editing, Document Preparation, and Other Resources, Prentice-Hall, 1985; and Foster, Diana, and Kathryn Hemness (revised by Kelli Gant-Errek), ms Dictionary, UC Davis Computer Center, 1983. My query is: can anyone point me towards similar documents to help new typists/word processors master n/t/ditroff using the -mm package? (Incidentally, why three packages? How do they substantively differ?) Thanks in advance.
