Ok I try to restate my question.
As far as I know, an-old.tmac is used when converting a man page to HTML
with a command like this
groff -Thtml -man a_man_page.9 > a_man_page.html
But now I want to use a modified version of an-old.tmac without replacing it
in the /usr/share/groff/ directory.
Is it possible to do that? I always get a blank output when passing the
modified macro with the -m option.

   Where and how does "groff" (not) find your file "an-old-fixed"?
I put the file in the same directory like the man page file, but that 
does not seem to work...


N.B.

   "an-old.tmac" is only read once due to the line

.do if d RI .nx

  How is "groff" supposed to find your marcro file (an-old-fixed.tmac)?

  Why?
