For the protocol, write a macro: .de SYS-include \" .SYS-include filename extension .ds SYS-filename \\$1 .sy preconv -e utf8 \\*[SYS-filename] \ | grap | pic | tbl | eqn -T\\*(.T > \\*[SYS-filename].intermediate .so \\*[SYS-filename].intermediate .sy rm \\*[SYS-filename].intermediate ..
Note that for instance, picture processing inside included files will not be handled as well, because the .so request is processed by groff (or troff), whereas the picture requests (.PS,.PE) are processed by pic beforehand. So at the call to pic the file isn't included. This is similar to a call to preconv. Please note, that I don't know the various command lines that (partially) work around that, nor the popular macros. > example.mom:12: warning: can't find special character `u004F_0306' If I guess right, this happens because the deployed font doesn't have a glyph at the designated unicode location/ number.
