	I do not know why, but Xenix's nroff/troff will not work with
the -me macros.  I also tried.  Apparently they are using an old version
of nroff/troff.  I was able to get them to run by compiling current
DWB nroff under Xenix, but it core dumps with some frequency.  I also
consider this a substantial shortcoming, that may be removed when the
merged ATT/Microsoft product comes out (although now that DWB has been
removed from Unix, nroff/troff may not be included).
