- This program is mostly the result of a hard weekend's work. Some
- people came to me with something that needed to be printed in time for
- the 350th celebration of Harvard. This was on a friday and the printer's
- deadline was tuesday. So this program is targeted to the requirements
- of this specific text.
-
- Note also that I am a manager and instructor ( those that can't do -
- teach ) and not a programmer so this is weak C and has only been tested
- under 4.3BSD but should be portable.
-
- A DCA input document will be turned into useful troff but most page
- setups will be lost. All "required carrier returns", centering
- forced page ends etc will be reflected in the troff output, but margins
- and the like will not be.
-
- Underlineing is turned into italic, and font changes try to do the right
- thing. Troff comment lines are insterted for many "interesting" DCA
- commands.
-
- The file "opts" is what I would do if I had the time.
-
- You may want to do some local mods in the files do_spchar.c and
- do_accent.c, they are set up for our imagen fonts.
-
- please send me any bugs/fixes/updates
