Hi Mplayer people,
to view the mplayer manpages with Solaris nroff there only should be 2
character macros. You used 3 and 4 character macros also. But it is easy
to fix:

It would be nice if you could fix that in cvs. If you tell me how do you
want to rename the macros I could make a patch for all the pages ready
and send you the cvs diff via eMail.

Greetings,
