Does anyone know the history of mmx? When I started, mmx was the
command we used to produce formatted ASCII text from source that

was being linked to nroff at about that time...
I seem to remember reading about it, or something similar, in some
older documentation. If I'm right, it serves much the same purpose as
groff does (in relation to gtroff, grops, and so forth): it uses
command-line options and certain defaults (including calling -mm) to
build a pipeline.
