Module name:    groff
Changes by:     Eric S. Raymond <esr>   07/02/06 09:27:19

Modified files:
        tmac           : groff_man.man 

Log message:
        Change .UR/.UE and .MT/.ME so the start macro no longer takes
        a second argument that is pasted to the end of the generated text.  
        Instead, the end macro takes an argument that does the same thing.
