This seemed to go extremely well..
This is is one of the few errors but may well be related to X not being
installed:-

makeinfo -I/unixos2/workdir/groff-current/doc

There were a couple of other minor errors but they were not terminal:-

else \

fi

How do I test for that?
BTW, what is the usual location for GROFF on a Unix system? I want to keep
things in exactly the right place so that I can follow any written
examples without too much trouble.
