     DESCRIPTION
	  Mm can be used to type out documents using nroff(1) and  the
	  MM text-formatting macro package.  It has options to specify
	  preprocessing by tbl(1) and/or neqn(1) and postprocessing by
	  various   terminal-oriented	output	filters.   The	proper
	  pipelines and the required arguments and flags for  nroff(1)
	  and MM are generated, depending on the options selected.

	  Osdd is equivalent  to  the  command	mm  -mosd.   For  more
	  information  about  the  OSDD	 adapter  macro	 package,  see
	  mosd(5).

	  Options for mm are given  below.   Any  other	 arguments  or
	  flags	 (e.g.,	 -rC3)	are  passed  to	 nroff(1) or to MM, as
	  appropriate.	Such options can occur in any order, but  they
	  must appear before the files arguments.  If no arguments are
	  given, mm prints a list of its options.

	  -Tterm   Specifies the type of output terminal; for  a  list
		   of recognized values for term, type help term2.  If
		   this option is not used, mm will use the  value  of
		   the	shell variable $TERM from the environment (see
		   profile(5) and environ(7)) as the value of term, if
		   $TERM  is  set;  otherwise,	mm will use 450 as the
		   value of  term.   If	 several  terminal  types  are
		   specified, the last one takes precedence.
	  -12	   Indicates that the document is to  be  produced  in
		   12-pitch.   May be used when $TERM is set to one of
		   300, 300s, 450, and 1620.  (The pitch switch on the
		   DASI 300 and 300s terminals must be manually set to
		   12 if this option is used.)
	  -c	   Causes mm to invoke col(1);	note  that  col(1)  is
		   invoked  automatically  by mm unless term is one of
		   300, 300s, 450, 37, 4000a, 382,  4014,  tek,	 1620,
		   and X.
	  -e	   Causes mm to invoke neqn; also causes neqn to  read
		   the /usr/pub/eqnchar file (see eqnchar(5)).
	  -t	   Causes mm to invoke tbl(1).
	  -E	   Invokes the -e option of nroff.
	  -y	   Causes mm to use the non-compacted version  of  the
		   macros (see mm(7)).

	  As an example (assuming that the shell variable $TERM is set
	  in  the environment to 450), the two command lines below are
	  equivalent:

	       mm -t -rC3 -12 ghh*
	       tbl ghh* | nroff -cm -T450-12 -h -rC3

	  Mm reads the standard input when - is specified  instead  of
	  any  file  names.   (Mentioning  other files together with -
	  leads to disaster.)  This option allows mm to be used	 as  a
	  filter, e.g.:

	       cat dws | mm -

	  Checkmm is a program for checking the contents of the	 named
	  files	 for  errors  in  the  use  of	the Memorandum Macros,
	  missing or unbalanced neqn delimiters,  and  .EQ/.EN	pairs.
	  Note:	 The  user  need  not  use  the	 checkeq  program (see
	  eqn(1)).  Appropriate messages are  produced.	  The  program
	  skips	 all  directories,  and	 if  no	 file  name  is given,
	  standard input is read.

     HINTS
	  1.   Mm invokes nroff with the -h  flag.   With  this	 flag,
	       nroff  assumes  that  the terminal has tabs set every 8
	       character positions.
	  2.   Use the -olist option of nroff  to  specify  ranges  of
	       pages to be output.  Note, however, that mm, if invoked
	       with one or more of the -e, -t, and - options, together
	       with  the  -olist  option of nroff may cause a harmless
	       ``broken pipe'' diagnostic if  the  last	 page  of  the
	       document is not specified in list.
	  3.   If you use the -s option	 of  nroff  (to	 stop  between
	       pages  of output), use line-feed (rather than return or
	       new-line) to restart the	 output.   The	-s  option  of
	       nroff  does not work with the -c option of mm, or if mm
	       automatically invokes col(1) (see -c option above).
	  4.   If you lie to mm about the kind of terminal its	output
	       will  be printed on, you'll get (often subtle) garbage;
	       however, if you are redirecting output into a file, use
	       the  -T37 option, and then use the appropriate terminal
	       filter when you actually print that file.

     DIAGNOSTICS
	  mm	   ``mm: no input file'' if none of the arguments is a
		   readable file and mm is not used as a filter.
	  checkmm  ``Cannot open filename'' if file(s) is  unreadable.
		   The	remaining  output of the program is diagnostic
		   of the source file.
