I recently acquired some documentation which is written with *roff
formatting commands.  There is an instruction in the starting part of
the document that tells me to run "ditroff -ms -Pip2 <filename>" to
print the document.

The "-ms" argument translates to groff OK, it says to use the macros
in /share/groff/tmac/tmac.s, but the "-Pip2" argument seems to
generate a message from grotty:  "can't open `ip2'".  If I add the
parameter "-Tps" to print to Postscript, grops gives the same message
about `ip2'.

TIA for any advice or info on this.  BTW, just what does "ditroff"
stand for, anyway?  "display troff", maybe?  Or "device independant
troff"?  Or what?
