.Sh BUGS
.Nm mkstr
was intended for the limited architecture of the PDP 11 family.
Very few programs actually use it. The pascal interpreter,
-.Xr \&pi 1
+.Xr \&pi 1 ,
and the editor,
-.Xr \&ex 1
+.Xr \&ex 1 ,
are two programs that are built this way.
It is not an efficient method, the error messages
should be stored in the program text.
