Message-ID: <4adafdbb2eb04d60d5d948d60ec7a7dc@quintile.net>

I was trying to generate PDFs of some PWB
manual pages but they use V6 macros.

I have found tmac.an6 which generates somthing
readable but stamps each page with:

	THIS MANUAL ENTRY NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED - SEE mancvt(1) and man(7)

Anyone know of mancvt, I cannot find it.

Any reason not to just find and remove the code in tmac.an6 that does 
that? Anyway, there's a System III version in the archive:
