   I  think you are right Luis.  I’m going to start with ms,
thanks.

   Thanks Doug, the best intro to ms I’ve found.  The  troff
sources  ms  and  refcard  from  msmacros.bun have problems.
Well, the ms’s output is complete except the  rows  for  the
"Order  of  Commands  in  Input"  final figure (why not used
pic?), but the output of the refcard "A Guide  to  Preparing
Documents  with  ‐ms"  is a mess.  Fortunately there are pdf
versions of the entire unix seventh manual with  other  good
texts:

   Anyway, if you know how to compile the source, please let
me know.  Thanks again.
