4.6 'ms'
========

The 'ms' ("manuscript") package is suitable for the preparation of
letters, memoranda, reports, and books.  These 'groff' macros feature
cover page and table of contents generation, automatically numbered
headings, several paragraph styles, a variety of text styling options,
footnotes, and multi-column page layouts.  'ms' supports the 'tbl',
'eqn', 'pic', and 'refer' preprocessors for inclusion of tables,
mathematical equations, diagrams, and standardized bibliographic
citations.  This implementation is mostly compatible with the documented
interface and behavior of AT&T Unix Version 7 'ms'.  Many extensions
from 4.2BSD (Berkeley) and Tenth Edition Research Unix have been
recreated.
