The directory /usr/share/ms contains various macro files used by the -ms package, along with various scripts that are useful for text formatting. These scripts are not supported commands-- they are examples that may assist you with document preparation. These scripts are described below: endnote ------- This program takes -ms footnotes (text placed between .FS and .FE macros) and moves them to the end of your output. It should be used with numbered footnotes, which are entered like this: this is best explained by Hodgkins.\** .FS Arthur Hodgkins, \fIThe Bone Marrow,\fP Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1982. .FE When you want to produce numbered endnotes instead of footnotes, you can run the program as follows: % /usr/share/ms/endnote filename(s) | nroff -ms Other nroff options, such as -T to specify terminal type, may also be given. If you're using refer, tbl, or eqn, they should follow /usr/share/ms/endnote, in the proper order. The endnote program creates the file "endnotes" in the working directory; the file is removed afterward endnote finishes. If this file already exists, the program exits with an error message. After a while you may find it more convenient to copy this script to your own directory, rather than saying /usr/share/ms/endnote every time you want to run it. To do this, type: % cp /usr/share/ms/endnote endnote % chmod +x endnote The first command will copy it into your working directory, and the second will make it executable. swapacc ------- This program takes accent marks in the old -ms format (where they come before the accented letter) and changes them into the new .AM format (where the come after the accented letter). Old format: t\*'el\*'ephone New format: te\*'le\*'phone The swapacc program is best run from inside the editor: :1,$ ! /usr/share/ms/swapacc The first to the last lines of the editor buffer will be sent to the shell, which will run /usr/share/ms/swapacc, and then return all lines to where they were before.
