Initially the headers and footers are undefined except for the center
header and footer, with the following definitions:
.ds CH "- \\n(PN -
.ds CF "\\*(DY
Where number register PN is the current page number and string register DY
stores the current date in the format "Month Day, Year". (s.tmac has the
answers to to this and more...) Yo'll need to redefine the macro where you
want roman numbering with your own counter and restore the original
definition where you want to start arabic numbering in your document.
Yikes!
The definitions above are for ATT DWB 3.4/5/6. That happens when you answer
from your desk reference rather than from actually reading the source code
(hint, hint).
In GNU ms, the definitions are slightly different and take advantage of
groff's syntax:
.ds CH "-\\n[PN]- \" Shouldn't the different spacing
\" this be considered a bug?
.ds CF "\\*[DY]
