I'm missing something. I tried your example and this is what I get:

**********
       testing

                                     Yours very truly,



       Location‐Dept.‐J.             Smith
***********

If I move the .MT 5 down after the .AT I get

***********
      Charge Case Anton’s title



                                                   January 22, 2012



       testing

                                     Yours very truly,



       Location‐Dept.‐J.             Smith
*************

Still no CEO.

I'm trying to convert from the AT&T roff code on Solaris to groff on 
Linux. On Solaris I get CEO.
