On the question of how to format the window(1) man page, the majority (all?)
of the man pages sent out with the NET/2 release have been written using a
new macro package called tmac.andoc. It is on the NET/2 tape in the directory
/usr/src/share/tmac and also available for anonymous ftp at ftp.uu.net
in packages/bsd-sources/usr/src/share/tmac. See the README in that directory
for details. In case this doesn't make sense, I also include a previous
message from this group which discusses the same sort of situation:

If you make the following change to the Makefile:
vangogh:tmac [64] diff -c /nbsd/usr/src/share/tmac/Makefile Makefile

doing a "make install" should create the tmac.doc file for you.
