+$progname is a simple wrapper for groff(1), used to expand cross
+references in mm documents; see groff_mm(7). It also handles the
+inclusion of PostScript images.
+
+Documents that do not use these features of groff mm (the INITI, IND,
+INDP, INITR, SETR, GETHN, GETPN, GETR, GETST, PIC macros) do not require
+mmroff. See the mmroff(1) manual page.
