An erronious fact at that :-(
The paper.ascii.gz files are created by:
gndrsh:root {579}# make -n paper.ascii.gz
touch _stamp.extraobjs
(cd /usr/src/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/../../../../contrib/sendmail/doc/op; groff -mtty-char -Tascii -e -p -me -o1- /usr/src/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/../../../../contrib/sendmail/doc/op/op.me) | gzip -cn > paper.ascii.gz
gndrsh:root {580}#
Or if you can't see it in the above:
groff -mtty-char -Tascii -e -p -me -o1-
It is created by with groff directly, not with nroff's wrapper. It would
be nice if the glitches casued by -e and -p could be fixed up though when
the output format is -Tascii -mtty-char.
