Problems with tek2plot.1:
Missing or garbled name section. The most common form of garbling
is a missing - or extra -. Or your manual page may have been generated
by a tool that doesn't emit a NAME section as it should. Or your page
may add running text such as a version or authorship banner. These
problems make it impossible to lift the page to DocBook. They
can also confuse third-party manpage browsers and some implementations
of man -k.

Macro definitions in the NAME section confuse doclifter and are
likely to screw up third-party man viewers with their own parsers.
