I would be nice if you could do that for the other cstr ps-files
that document classical troff.  Then we could use troff.org in
the groff man-pages.  One cannot expect that everyone uses gs or

If it is not possible to do that, I propose to use github.com.
I'm about to create a git page about RUNOFF.
