-Implementation notes. (Or how to make your own national mm)
-
-Different commands:
-
-COVER [arg]
-MT [arg [addressee]]
-The arg is part of a filename in mm/*.MT or mm/*.cov.
-This file is read when the macro is executed. Therefore it must be
-put before any text output.
-In each file there are definitions of all extra macros needed for the
-cover sheet. MT files is only for compatibility reasons, and has several
-limits due to that it don't know when the cover starts, and cannot
-change sizes. Use COVER for new coversheet macros.
-
-But with MT it is possible to write all of the AT&T covers.
-An example can be found in mm/0.MT.
-
-When writing a new cover using COVER, have in mind that the cover
-should print the page with the COVEND macro. This macro
-should be defined by the new macrofile.
-
-Here is a part of ms.cov:
-> .\"-----------------
-> .de COVEND
-> .sp |4.2c
-> .cov@print-title
-> .cov@print-authors
-> .cov@print-firm
-> .cov@print-abstract
-> .cov@print-date
-This is important, since COVER disables the page header.
-> .pg@enable-top-trap
-Should begin with page one (normally).
-> .bp 1
-And enable the trap at the page footer.
-> .pg@enable-trap
-> ..
