Bjarni notes (http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2025-01/msg00047.html) that the URL
cited for troffcvt in MORE.STUFF and tmac/groff_www.7.man is dead.
Norwid Behrnd points to an archival link for it
(http://web.archive.org/web/20220728224740/http://www.snake.net/software/troffcvt/).
However, Colin Watson observes (http://bugs.debian.org/1059802) that the
latest archived version does not work with groff 1.23.0 and beyond. So it may
be better to remove references to troffcvt from groff's documentation than to
update groff's URLs to point to the archival copy.
