DESCRIPTION

These commands are similar to the mm command except they typeset their input
via the troff rather than nroff command.  The mvt and mant commands are links
to mmt.  The mmt command uses the memorandum macro package (see the mm facility
in AIX Operating System Technical Reference).  The mvt command uses the macro
package for view graphs and slides (see the mv facility in AIX Operating System
Technical Reference).  The mant command uses the manual page macros.

These commands have flags to specify preprocessing by the tbl, cw, or eqn
commands.  The mmt command generates the proper pipelines and required
parameters for the troff command and the macro package used, depending on the
flags selected.  If you specify a - (minus) in place of the file variable,
these commands read standard input.

The checkmm command can be used to check the input to mmt.

If the input contains a troff command comment line consisting solely of the
string "'\" x" (single quotation mark, backslash, double quotation mark, space,
x), where x is any combination of the three letters c, e, and t, and where
there is exactly one space between the double quotation mark and x, the input
is processed through the appropriate combination of the cw, eqn, and tbl
commands, respectively, regardless of the command line parameters.

Note:  Use the -olist parameter of the troff command to specify ranges of pages
       for output.  However, calling these commands with one or more of the -c,
       -e, -t, and - flags together with troff -olist may cause a harmless
       "broken pipe" diagnostic if the last page of the document is not
       specified in the list variable.

FLAGS

Flags other than the ones listed below are passed to the troff command or macro
package.  All flags must appear before the file variable.  If you do not
provide any parameters, these commands print a list of their flags.

-a         Invokes the -a flag of the troff command.

-c         Preprocesses the input files with the cw command.

-e         Preprocesses the input files with the eqn command.

-t         Preprocesses the input files with the tbl command.

-T4014     Directs the output to a Tektronix 4014 work station via the tc
           command.

-Ttek      Same as -T4014 flag.
