Yep. I remember hacking 99% of the documentation into working (except
for stuff using -me - tmac.e seems to barf around line 1900 or so I
think - can't remember, it's been a while).

I'll dredge thru my FS and work out a series of diffs to send to here
and the bugs mailing list.. take a couple of days tho.

(It was great having the advanced IPC & other docs printed out as
Postscript:)
