Hi!
I hope you won't mind a beginner's question! :-)

I've been downloading a few 'goodies' from comp.source.unix and most of them
come with a manual entry ('goodie'.1 or something similar). These entries
are always of the following format:


	.TH GETPATHS LOCAL 6/2/86
	.SH NAME
	getpaths \- gather Usenet article paths
	.SH SYNOPSIS
	.B getpaths

My probem is: I'm still to find a formatting utilities that would print these
files the proper way! I tried nroff, mm, osdd ... there's always something
wrong with the output.

Am I missing something? Libraries or macros?

Please do not leave me in the dark!
