Thanks for the suggestion.  Alas, CVS refuses my connection as follows:

  cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden/sources/groff -z5 co groff
  cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to \
  cvs.savannah.gnu.org(199.232.41.69):2401 failed: Connection refused

and the lastest GROFF (1.19.3) needs Texinfo 4.8.  My Debian system
provides only 4.7.  I seem to be stuck.

The 1.19.3 install notes (actually the README) talks about renaming a file
'/usr/local/bin/install-info' if upgrading to 4.8.  This isn't quite
clear to me.  Does it mean install 4.8, then rename the file
'install-info' to say 'install-info.hold'?  Failing to do this has what
effect?

Regards,

Dean
