Thanks -- I didn't know it.  I'll think about an in-
staller.  Currently I have a  primitive  cross-plat-
form  Pascal  program  that allows to call groff ac-
cording to one of the templates  defined  in  a  re-
source file.  I might teach it to expand environment
variables, and then I'd use the -I option to replace
.mso with .so and use soelim...
