Currently the references are hard-wired and quickly becoming out of date. I already have some hacks for automatically generating table of contents when using sectioning commands (essentially, some macros to do the ToC stuff, then call .NH). What I want is the equivalent of \ref{} from LaTeX, but implemented for troff ms macros. Please e-mail replies to , as I don't normally read troff stuff in this newsgroup. -- John Kohl or Digital Equipment Corporation/Project Athena (The above opinions are MINE.
