What is the world coming to...... .mss usually denotes a Scribe file.
The author of MicroEmacs has apparently been working on a Scribe clone,
which he's been calling MicroScribe.  I warned him that the "Scribe" has
been fiercely defended in the past and that he should call it something
else, but mail to him seems to either not get through or be ingnored.

As I remember, the .mss file above didn't want to work quite as is with
Scribe -- I had to tweak it.  There's nothing terribly complicated in it,
though, so you should be able to do regexp replaces or such to convert it
to some other formatter.
