I  suspect that  `.devicem' is not a macro that one defines outside the 
binary of groff
and uses it happily.
I suspect that it is something new in the binary.

If so, I need to re-phrase the question: how and where from and in what 
form can someone get hold of the new binary.
E.g. those, like me, still on the original Mac groff diet, without 
compilers, etc.
Do I have to upgrade to Tiger, do I have to get whatever compilers, etc 
and running make on sources or
a .dmg file needs to be downloaded/installed.

I.e. I don't know how address@hidden handles the distribution of 
improved things.
Does one have to wait for the next official release?
