Re: trouble with groff -M

[Bernd Warken]

  The following example shows where the `-M' trouble originates.

echo '.ds Test This is a test string\"'>test.tmac
echo 'Example: \*[Test]' | groff -M. -m test -Tlatin1

  produces an error:
troff: fatal error: can't find macro file test

  But but if you copy, link, or move `test.tmac' to `tmac.test' groff
  will succeed.

mv test.tmac tmac.test
echo 'test: \*[Test]' | groff -M. -m test -Tlatin1

  produces
Example: This is a test string


It should now be possible to track down this bug.
