The PWB children used -mm I seem to remember that the base system 3 and maybe the
original sysv did not include it since troff was not apart. If you pulled from BSD or
ditroff; you got it.
Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.

I have some vague distant memory of a commercial Unix variant that came with troff and
the -mm macros, but without -ms. I can't remember which it was (or if I'm just
imagining things). Anyone have any ideas?

I had a boss once who demanded that we learn -mm;
for some reason I still
preferred -ms, as it somehow seemed more "natural", and I still use it to
this day (well, when I'm not using the Mac, that is).
Why not? The Mac has it: /usr/share/groff/1.19.2/tmac/s.tmac
