In ancient times, the UNIX philosphy was to have small 
programs that one could chain together via a pipe.  I've
had the following alias in my .cshrc for well over ar
decade:

alias   doc 'cat \!* | eqn | tbl | nroff -mdoc | more'

Now, when I'm working on a manpage in my local projects,
I get the wonderfully useful

doc mkpic.1
