Question about UCB/Sun version of -ms macros

On a Sun 3/60, running SunOS 3.5, I want to use the -ms macros for
a document I'm working on.  I would dearly love to be able to produce
a table of contents, and indeed the ms(7) man page lists a .TC macro.
But I get no results from it.  It appears that the -ms macros are the
ones developed at UCB and not the original V7 macros.

The man page lists files in both /usr/lib/tmac and /usr/lib/ms.  Does
anyone know what the various pieces in the two directories are?

Does anyone know what sort of magic to use to get a table of contents
out of -ms?  Although I have enough troff knowledge to do it, my time is
better spent than deciphering the actual macros themselves.

(The -me macros aren't an option; -ms has a fighting chance of moving
to -mm one day, but -me doesn't.)

Thanks in Advance,
