Binaries for groff (current version 1.01) can be found in the directory
pub/3b1 on csvax.cs.caltech.edu.  Other goodies are there too.

On most other machines one finds ms macros, and the alternate naming
for the GNU version allows for both to easily exist.  On the 3b1 one
might as well make tmac.s a link to tmac.gs.
