The paper "Typing Documents on the UNIX System: Using the -ms Macros
with Troff and Nroff", by M. E. Lesk, November 13, 1978, is available
from R. Stevens' page:
http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/troff.html
The direct URL is
http://www.kohala.com/start/troff/v7man/msmacros/msmacros.ps
There is a paper available somewhere called "A Revised Version of
-ms", by Bill Tuthill that documents some changes to -ms that were
made for BSD.
The documentation for troff/ditroff is available from
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr.html
Some direct URLs are:
CSTR #54, J. F. Ossanna, Nroff/Troff User's Manual, Bell Labs,
1976. Revised by Brian Kernighan, 1992.
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/54.ps.gz
CSTR #97, B. W. Kernighan, A Typesetter-Independent TROFF, Bell
Labs, 1981, revised March 1982
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/97.ps.gz
CSTR #116, Brian W. Kernighan, PIC -- A Graphics Language for
Typesetting (Revised User Manual). Bell Labs, December 1984.
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/116.ps.gz
There other troff related tech reports there as well.
More troff related documentation is available from
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/papers.html
The Unix Seventh Edition Manual, which contains other troff related
documentation, is available from
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/7thEdMan/
Perhaps permission could be obtained to include some of these
materials in the groff distribution? CSTR #54 would be especially
useful.
