True. I wanted to get something going to get the feel of the routine.  I know
that there is a lot of latex specific code, and I will clean it up as testing
goes on. 

In terms of foot notes. I did adjust to the way GROFF uses them, but when I

tested them nothing came out. The way it works is to insert a .FS/.FE pair

on the text to be footnoted. GROFF will place the text in the footnote

and automatically add the marker in the location that the .FS/.FE marks
where placed. 


Well, it is not working... so needs to be fixed :)

[chomp... good suggestions!]

I suspected that there was a variable that controlled it; but I was not sure, 
thanks for clarifying.

I thought that these were used to control the export of the planning 
information. But you already answered my question.
