Silly question: what version of MacOS X do you have? On my Ventura
install I get:
% which nroff
nroff: Command not found.
(I did find a Monterey install and it does have an nroff on it)
I think as long as whatever "man" ends up invoking on a particlar system
supports tbl(1) macros we are fine. And I believe that is true! Even
on the aforementioned Monterey system if I put those contents in "foo.1"
and run "man ./foo.1" then the right thing happens.
