Surely, you don't need "col" here. I always understood that it
was not required by "groff", and it isn't included in any "groff"
distribution. Moreover, there's a note in the "man.conf" template
distributed with man-1.5m2 for Linux, that says a combination of
"col" -- from some other source -- with "groff" can actually
*damage* the output.
Try
groff -mandoc -stc -Tlatin1 -P-c tmsplx.xml.5 \
> catman/tmsplx.xml.5
HTH.

Keith.
