ditroff == "device independent troff"
smm == UNIX System Manager's Manual (SMM)
ps1 == UNIX Programmer's Supplementary Documents, Volume 1 (PS1)
usd == UNIX User's Supplementary Documents (USD)
(i had to look those up... 8-)
a way to make them? i'm not sure... umm try make -n to see what
it would do to make them with ditroff, then do the same thing with "nroff"
and you'll end up with human-readable text files...
where these files will be, i dunno...
