MS(6) Games Manual MS(6) NAME ms - macros for formatting manuscripts SYNOPSIS nroff -ms [ options ] file ... troff -ms [ options ] file ... DESCRIPTION This package of nroff and troff(1) macro definitions provides a canned formatting facility for technical papers in various formats. When pro- ducing 2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through col; see column(1). The macro requests are defined below. Many nroff and troff requests are unsafe in conjunction with this package, but the following requests may be used with impunity after the first .PP: Output of the eqn(1), neqn, tbl(1), pic(1), refer(1), and prefer(1) preprocessors for equations, tables, pictures, and references is ac- ceptable as input. Diacritical marks may be applied to letters, as in these examples: \*`e \*`a \*'e \*^e \*^o \*:u \*~n \*,c \*vc e a e e o u n c c FILES SEE ALSO M. E.
