Summary: NRO on Manx/Aztec C


	In order to make nro run under Manx Aztec C, I have
to rename the brk() function to robrk(), and change all the
"brk()" statements and nro.c, nrotxt.c, and nrocmd.c to "robrk()".
It turns out that brk() is part of the memory allocator.

	I added one thing that I missed from nroff, which was
comments.  Comments are of the form:

	.. this is a comment

It is basically the command char twice at the beginning of the line.
To add nroff-like comments, just add the line:

	if (p[0] == dc.cmdchr && p[1] == dc.cmdchr)
		return;

just before the line:

	ct = comtype (p, macexp);

in routine "comand" in the file "nrocmd.c"
