        !            51: .I Vgrind
        !            52: formats the program sources which are arguments 
        !            53: in a nice style using
        !            54: .IR troff (1)
        !            55: Comments are placed in italics, keywords in bold face,
        !            56: and the name of the current function is listed down the margin of each
        !            57: page as it is encountered.
        !            58: .PP
        !            59: .I Vgrind 
        !            60: runs in two basic modes, filter mode or regular mode.  In filter mode 
        !            61: .I vgrind
        !            62: acts as a filter in a manner similar to
        !            63: .IR tbl (1).
        !            64: The standard input is passed directly to the standard output except
        !            65: for lines bracketed by the 
        !            66: .I troff-like
        !            67: macros:
        !            68: .IP .vS
        !            69: - starts processing
        !            70: .IP .vE
        !            71: - ends processing
        !            72: .LP
        !            73: These lines are formatted as described above.  The output from this
        !            74: filter can be passed to 
        !            75: .I troff 
        !            76: for output.  There need be no particular ordering with 
        !            77: .IR eqn (1)
        !            78: or

        !            80: .PP
        !            81: In regular mode 
        !            82: .I vgrind
        !            83: accepts input files, processes them, and passes them to 
        !            84: .IR troff (1)
        !            85: for output.  
        !            86: .PP
        !            87: In both modes 
        !            88: .I vgrind
        !            89: passes any lines beginning with a decimal point without conversion.
        !            90: .PP
        !            91: The options are:

        !            94: .IP \fB\-\fP
        !            95: forces input to be taken from standard input (default if
        !            96: .B \fB\-f\fP
        !            97: is specified )
        !            98: .IP \fB\-t\fP
        !            99: similar to the same option in
        !           100: .I troff
        !           101: causing formatted text to go to the standard output
        !           102: .IP \fB\-n\fP
        !           103: forces no keyword bolding
        !           104: .IP \fB\-x\fP
        !           105: outputs the index file in a ``pretty'' format. 
        !           106: The index file itself is produced whenever 
        !           107: .I vgrind
        !           108: is run with a file called 
        !           109: .I index
        !           110: in the current directory.
        !           111: The index of function
        !           112: definitions can then be run off by giving 
        !           113: .I vgrind

        !           117: .I index
        !           118: as argument.
        !           119: .IP \fB\-W\fP
        !           120: forces output to the (wide) Versatec printer rather than the (narrow)
        !           121: Varian
        !           122: .IP \fB\-s\fP
        !           123: specifies a point size to use on output (exactly the same as the argument

        !           125: .IP \fB\-h\fP
