The problems with the Ultrix troff "man" macros supplied with Ultrix 1.1
were minor.  I had no trouble patching the macros to print beautifully
on our LaserWriter using Adobe TranScript; almost all of the modifications
I made were due to the 8-1/2" x 11" page size.  However, the supplied
macros seem to have changed considerably for Ultrix 1.2.

If you are having trouble with the 1.2 macros, perhaps the 1.1 macros
will work for you if you can get them.  If you can't get them, I suppose
you will now be more frustrated than ever!
