Thanks to some on the net who sent me pointers, I've found the missing
tmac.n macros. They apparently come with the B news distribution (I got
them from a friend running B news).

A minor flame: DO NOT assume that people are running the same software
you are when putting together distributions --- especially for a program
that isn't even Unix specific. (I am installing on Unix, but the point
remains valid).

We're running C news here, so we didn't get tmac.n with our news
distribution. The other sites at the Illinois are all notes sites. In
other words, nobody local had ever heard of tmac.n. At least a reference
would have been nice.
