tr84-11 requires preprocessing by tbl(1).  See its Makefile entry.

tr84-12 contains only the preface for the Icon program library report.
The table of contents is in v5g/man/man0/toc.in and the permuted index
is in v5g/man/man0/ptx.in. The manual pages themselves are in
v5g/man/man[1-8]/*.

The longer documents are divided into sections of manageable size.
Files with the suffix .roff are subsidiary to root documents of the
same prefix and are incorporated by .so commands.

These documents are designed to be formatted on a proportional-spaced
device with a range of special characters. They may not format properly
under ntroff.

All these documents are available in hardcopy form, free of charge, from
