I'm in the process of putting up Elm 2.1P1 on a couple of systems.
I'd like to troff the docs, but I don't seem to have the rite macro
packages here.  The Elm Makefile wants to run *.guide documentation
thru the "mm" macro package -- what's that?  (Please excuse my ignorance.)
I did find a version of "mm" on an HP-9000, but it seems to be only
the nroff side of things.  I tried a few other macro pkgs I have on
a Sun, but the results didn't quite look rite (Dave Taylor sent me
a formatted set for an earlier version of Elm, so I know rufly what  
the *.fmtd guides should look like).

Does anybody have any good ideas on how to get a nice set of guides
troffed up?  I'd sure like to hear yours!

Thanks,
