vox clamantis in deserto

[Douglas McIlroy]

When I picked up a copy of 1.23.0 barely a week after its release, I found
(and reported) that [groff -ms -p] had a fatal auto-immune disease, in
which -ms diagnosed customary pic output as invalid. Nearly a year later,
our departmental computer center just caught the disease from Ubuntu. If
complaints of unusability have not been piling up in the interim, it seems
that users like me, with gobs of -ms -p documents, are a relict endangerd
species.
