Very Computer

All of the lists and much of the highlighting are messed up, because
the GNU .an macro apparently doesn't implement some of the required
macros.  I have fixed this with these substitutions:

        .LI -> .IP
        \*L -> \fB
        \*O -> \fP
        \*V -> \fI

One way to do this is as follows:

        # cd /usr/X11/man/man1
        # mv mwm.1X mwm-orig.1X
        # sed -e s/^.LI/.IP/ \
              -e s/\\\*L/\\fB/g \
              -e s/\\\*O/\\fP/g \
              -e s/\\\*V/\\fI/g \
              mwm-orig.1X >mwm.1X

However, formatting still generates errors like this:

       924: warning: can't break line
       error: page 13: table will not fit on one page; use .TS H/.TH with a
       supporting macro package

...and the corresponding tables are missing.  I don't know enough roff
to fix this.  Just Computers! has not been able to help.  I would
appreciate any suggestions.
