I would like to describe my printer to nroff so that nroff would use
escape sequences instead of overstrikes to create boldfacing and
underlining.  I have done this sort of thing before for the system V at
work, as described in nterm(5).

Unfortunately, my Tandy 68000 Xenix 3.2 at home stores the
corresponding tables in a different format, and even a different
directory (/usr/lib/term/tab.* as opposed to system V
/usr/lib/nterm/tab.*).  The Xenix man page I have on term lists the
tables that exist, but doesn't help me create a new one.

Any hints?
