Yah, you bought the wrong flavor of Unix.  The `MS' macro package comes
with Berkely Unix systems, and A/UX is an AT&T (System V) Unix system.
The macro packages available on System V are MM - Memorandum Macros, MS
- Viewgraph and Slide macros, and MAN - manual page macros.  I don't
know if any of these are compatible with the MS package, but I doubt it.
It would just be TOO easy :-).
