Do all the manpages use the classical "man" markup, or do they use the "doc" macros? If the latter, then "an-old.tmac" is not the correct package to load, and "doc.tmac" must be used. Deciding which one to load is exactly what "andoc.tmac" (via "an.tmac") was supposed to do (but the implemented solution was perhaps not quite optimal).
