+The AWK reference card included here requires a modern version of troff
+(ditroff). GNU Troff (groff) is known to work.
+
+If your troff is able to produce Postscript but does not know how to
+properly use the macros from `colors' file then try to uncomment in
+Makefile the defintion which sets AWKCARD to awkcard.nc (no colors).
+This will definitely require changes to the TROFF macro and you have to
+ensure that the tbl preprocessor is called. For example, the following
+modifications on NeXT:
+
+TROFF = tbl
+SEDME = ptroff -t | sed -e \
+ "s/^level0 restore/level0 restore flashme 100 72 moveto\
+ (Copyright `date`, FSF, Inc. (all)) show/" \
+ -e "s/^\/level0 save def/\/level0 save def 30 -48 translate/"
+
+will produce a correctly formatted, albeit monochromatic, reference card.
