- This is my initial release of ROFF5, v2.00 for MS-DOS:
- .P
- It suppercedes ROFF4, v1.61 and v1.62 which have previously been
- placed in the public domain. This new formatter has evolved to
- follow more closely the naming conventions of the UNIX[R by AT&T]
- text formatting programs, nroff and troff.
- .P
- There are considerable differences in that it supports the use of
- longer register and macro names, supports a large variety of
- inexpensive output devices, and provide the user with the ability to
- generate custom characters (such as Greek symbols for mathematics).
- .P
- This formatter is not intended to replace a WYSIWYG word processor
- which is more convenient for short notes, etc. This formatter is
- great for longer reports where one wants to follow a particular
- style, such as doing all the paragraphs the same way, using
- numbering of each section, etc.
- .P
- I look forward to receiving comments, concerns, bug reports, etc.
- To minimize confusion this distribution is "ROFF5, version 2.00".
