-
- This is my initial release of ROFF5, v2.00 for MS-DOS:
-
- 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.
-
- 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).
-
- 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.
-
- I look forward to receiving comments, concerns, bug reports,
- etc. To minimize confusion this distribution is "ROFF5, version
- 2.00".
