I was trying to generate PDFs of some PWB
manual pages but they use V6 macros.
I have found tmac.an6 which generates somthing
readable but stamps each page with:
THIS MANUAL ENTRY NEEDS TO BE CONVERTED - SEE mancvt(1) and man(7)
Anyone know of mancvt, I cannot find it.

Any reason not to just find and remove the code in tmac.an6 that does
that? Anyway, there's a System III version in the archive:
