  I'm trying to write man pages using the new "mandoc" format --- and
I've been having some problems locating some reference
material. Reading the macro input pages, and searching other man pages
for examples is getting old...
  I have the BSD4.4 CD, a BSDI system, and NetBSD sources (three
copies at home, work, and play), but I haven't found the right path. I
was poking through /usr/share/doc hoping for something, but haven't
found what I'm looking for.

  Does such a document exist? Where? A path name would be much appreciated.
  (So far, I much prefer mandoc, and have installed the mandoc macros
on our Suns as well)
