It is in /usr/src/share/tmac: Makefile doc doc-ditroff doc-syms tmac.andoc README doc-common doc-nroff strip.sed@ tmac.doc.old The make file has a non-existent file name in it which will cause it to break. Delete that name if you want to use the make file. The file tmac.andoc can determine the difference between a -man man page and a -mdoc man page (it is actually the tmac.an file on BSD). If you have problems, send mail to me: cael@vangogh.cs.berkeley.edu also beware the macro package is very slow.
