You will find there are also two copies of the -ms macros; in that
particular case, the Berkeley version is superior to that distributed
with ditroff.
[Note that the version installed on the VAX in the recent past was the
ditroff version, which does NOT match the 4.3bsd documentation set -ms
descriptions.]

Someone needs to figure out which version of all these macro sets we
should have installed [don't look at me].
