NAME

     troff  -  format text



SYNOPSIS

     troff [ +n ] [ -n ] [ -t ] [ -f ] [ -w ] [ -i ] [ -a ] files



DESCRIPTION

     Troff formats text for  a  Graphic  Systems  phototypesetter

     according  to  control  lines  embedded  in  the text files.

     Troff is based on nroff(I).  The non-file  option  arguments

     are interpreted as follows:



          +n    Commence typesetting at the first page numbered n

               or larger.



          -n    Stop after page n.



          -t    Place output on standard output  instead  of  the

               phototypesetter.



          -f    Refrain from feeding out paper and  stopping  the

               phototypesetter at the end.



          -w    Wait  until  phototypsetter  is   available,   if

               currently busy.



          -i    Read from standard input  after  the  files  have

               been exhausted.



          -a    Send a printable approximation of the results  to

               the standard output.



     A TROFF  Guide  is  available  [1]  which  can  be  used  in

     conjunction with an NROFF Manual [2].
