1) Always use options " -ww -b -z " to get warning messages. 2) Never put whitespace in front of a comment escape sequence (\"), except it shall be included in a definition of a string. 3) The file name "s.tmac" is actually "s.tmac " (whitespace is a tab character). This shows a fallacy of including space in the name of a file when reading it. Space in file names is never(?) necessary (one may make a symlink (copy) to a spacefree name, for example by using a full stop (.) instead of a space character). 4) Print the "Troff User's Manual" (CSTR #54) (https://troff.org/54.pdf) on both sides of paper and get it spiral-bound. The margins are good for making notices. There are some errors in the file, even one that I discovered yesterday.
