NAME
     mm - the MM macro package for formatting documents

SYNOPSIS
     mm [ options ] [ files ]

     nroff -mm [ options ] [ files ]

     nroff -cm [ options ] [ files ]

     mmt [ options ] [ files ]

     troff -mm [ options ] [ files ]

     troff -cm [ options ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
     This package provides a formatting capability for a very wide variety of
     documents.  It is the standard package used by the BTL typing pools and
     documentation centers.  The manner in which a document is typed in and
     edited is essentially independent of whether the document is to be
     eventually formatted at a terminal or is to be phototypeset.  See the
     references below for further details.

     The -mm option causes nroff and troff(1) to use the non-compacted version
     of the macro package, while the -cm option results in the use of the
     compacted version, thus speeding up the process of loading the macro
     package.

FILES
     /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.m              pointer to the non-compacted version of
                                       the package
     /usr/lib/macros/mm[nt]            non-compacted version of the package
     /usr/lib/macros/cmp.[nt].[dt].m   compacted version of the package
     /usr/lib/macros/ucmp.[nt].m       initializers for the compacted version
                                       of the package
