\b0 checks a list of nroff(1) or troff(1) input files for certain kinds of errors involving mismatched opening and closing delimiters and unknown commands. If no files are specified, checknr checks the standard input. Delimiters checked are:\
(1) Font changes using \\fx ... \\fP.\
(2) Size changes using \\sx ... \\s0.\
(3) Macros that come in open ... close forms, for example, the .TS and .TE macros which must always come in pairs.\
Checknr knows about the ms(7) and me(7) macro packages.\
Checknr is intended to be used on documents that are prepared with checknr in mind. It expects a certain document writing style for \\f and \\s commands, in that each \\fx must be terminated with \\fP and each \\sx must be terminated with \\s0. While it will work to directly go into the next font or explicitly specify the original font or point size, and many existing documents actually do this, such a practice will produce complaints from checknr. Since it is probably better to use the \\fP and \\s0 forms anyway, you should think of this as a contribution to your document preparation style.

\b0 is a program that converts a dvi file file[.dvi] produced by TeX and converts it to PostScript, and writes the result to file[.ps]. The result requires a small amount of PostScript source to precede it, before it can be successfully printed. By default, that PostScript code is prepended to the output. If no file is specified in the command line, the dvi file is read from the standard input stream. The dvi file may be specified without the .dvi extension. If the MakeTeXPK program is installed, dvips will automatically generate fonts that don't already exit.

\b0 is a troff(1) preprocessor for typesetting mathematics on a Graphic Systems phototypesetter, neqn on terminals. Usage is almost always eqn file ... | troff neqn file ... | nroff If no files are specified, these programs read from the standard input. A line beginning with `.EQ' marks the start of an equation; the end of an equation is marked by a line beginning with `.EN'. Neither of these lines is altered, so they may be defined in macro packages to get centering, numbering, etc. It is also possible to set two characters as `delimiters'; subsequent text between delimiters is also treated as eqn input. Delimiters may be set to characters x and y with the command-line argument -dxy or (more commonly) with `delim xy' between .EQ and .EN. The left and right delimiters may be identical. Delimiters are turned off by `delim off'. All text that is neither between delimiters nor between .EQ and .EN is passed through untouched.

\b0 is a simple text formatter which reads the concatenation of input files (or standard input if none are given) and produces on standard output a version of its input with lines as close to 72 characters long as possible. The spacing at the beginning of the input lines is preserved in the output, as are blank lines and interword spacing. Fmt is meant to format mail messages prior to sending, but may also be useful for other simple tasks.
\b0 on the NeXT computer system must be installed before its first use. Please read /NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/ReleaseNotes/TeX.rtf for instructions. TeX formats the interspersed text and commands contained in the named files and outputs a typesetter independent file (called DVI which is short for DeVice Independent). TeX capabilities and language are described in The TeX book by Donald E. Knuth, published by Addison-Wesley. There is also an older manual, TeX and METAFONT, which describes the older version of TeX , now called TeX 78, but this description is now obsolete. The present version of TeX (often refered to internally as TeX 82) incorporates literally hundreds of changes from this older version. Any arguments given on the command line to the TeX programs are passed to them as the first input line. As described in The TeX book, that line should begin with a file name or a . The normal usage is to say ``tex paper'' to start processing paper.tex. The name ``paper'' will be the ``jobname'', and is used in forming output file names. If TeX doesn't get a file name in the first line, the jobname is ``texput''. The default `.tex' extension can be overridden by specifying an extension explicitly. If there is no paper.tex in the current directory, TeX will look look through a search path of directories to try to find it. The standard library on the default search path has the basic format package, plain.tex, described in the TeX book, as well as several others. Note that it is hardly ever necessary to plain, since the tex program has preloaded it. This means that all of the control sequences discussed in the TeX book are known to TeX . The output DVI file is written on name.dvi where name is the jobname. A log of error messages goes into name.log. Note that there have been incompatible changes in the DVI format between TeX 78 and TeX 82, so programs used to print TeX 78 output will not work for TeX 82. A number of output drivers are available. Ask your local TeX guru for information on what one you should use.

\b0 interprets its input (standard input default) as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat). The standard output of tc is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character sets). The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's four sizes; the entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's character generator, using overstruck combinations where necessary. Typical usage: troff -t file | tc At the end of each page tc waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page. In this wait state, the command e will suppress the screen erase before the next page; sN will cause the next N pages to be skipped; and !line will send line to the shell.

\b0 on the NeXT computer system must be installed before its first use. Please read /NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/ReleaseNotes/TeX.rtf for instructions. TeX formats the interspersed text and commands contained in the named files and outputs a typesetter independent file (called DVI which is short for DeVice Independent). TeX capabilities and language are described in The TeX book by Donald E. Knuth, published by Addison-Wesley. There is also an older manual, TeX and METAFONT, which describes the older version of TeX , now called TeX 78, but this description is now obsolete. The present version of TeX (often refered to internally as TeX 82) incorporates literally hundreds of changes from this older version. Any arguments given on the command line to the TeX programs are passed to them as the first input line. As described in The TeX book, that line should begin with a file name or a . The normal usage is to say ``tex paper'' to start processing paper.tex. The name ``paper'' will be the ``jobname'', and is used in forming output file names. If TeX doesn't get a file name in the first line, the jobname is ``texput''. The default `.tex' extension can be overridden by specifying an extension explicitly. If there is no paper.tex in the current directory, TeX will look look through a search path of directories to try to find it. The standard library on the default search path has the basic format package, plain.tex, described in the TeX book, as well as several others. Note that it is hardly ever necessary to plain, since the tex program has preloaded it. This means that all of the control sequences discussed in the TeX book are known to TeX . The output DVI file is written on name.dvi where name is the jobname. A log of error messages goes into name.log. Note that there have been incompatible changes in the DVI format between TeX 78 and TeX 82, so programs used to print TeX 78 output will not work for TeX 82. A number of output drivers are available. Ask your local TeX guru for information on what one you should use. There are some environment variables that can be used to set up directory paths to search when TeX opens a file for input. For example, the csh command setenv TEXINPUTS .:/usr/me/mylib:/usr/lib/tex/inputs or the sh command sequence TEXINPUTS=.:/usr/me/mylib:/usr/lib/tex/inputs export TEXINPUTS would cause all invocations of tex and its derivatives to look for files first in the current directory, then in a hypothetical user's ``mylib'', and finally in the system library. Normally, the user will place the command sequence which sets up the TEXINPUTS environment variable in the .cshrc or .profile file. The Environment section below lists the relevant environment variables, and their defaults. The e response to TeX 's error prompt causes the vi editor to start up at the current line of the current file. There is an environment variable, TEXEDIT, that can be used to change the editor used. It should contain a string with "%s" indicating where the filename goes and "%d" indicating where the decimal linenumber (if any) goes. For example, a TEXEDIT string for (Gosling's) emacs can be set by: setenv TEXEDIT "/usr/bin/emacs -l/usr/lib/tex82/tex-start -estartline %d %s" (replacing the path name for the emacs as appropriate on your system). A convenient file in the library is null.tex, containing nothing. When tex can't find a file it thinks you want to input, it keeps asking you for another file name; responding `null' gets you out of the loop if you don't want to input anything. Two other TeX programs, initex and virtex, can be used to create fast-loading customized versions of TeX . The initex program is used to create a format (.fmt) file that permits fast loading of fonts and macro packages. After processing the fonts and definitions desired, a command will create the format file. The format file is used by virtex. It needs to be given a format file name as the first thing it reads. A format file name is preceded by an &, which needs to be escaped with if given on the command line. So, for instance, one could create a file myfmt.fmt using initex, and then set up a cshell alias with alias mytex "virtex &myfmt" to allow the use of ``mytex paper''.

\b0 program displays dvi files generated by TeX on the NeXT megapixel display. The program is operated through menus and buttons generated by Interface Builder. Full support for PostScript fonts and graphics is supported in the same manner as dvips(1). Any missing fonts are generated automatically, unless this feature is disabled from the Preferences menu item. Missing fonts may also be scaled from existing sizes. A script for generating fonts is supplied in /usr/lib/tex/Make_Fonts; it should be used to generate a base set of fonts for texview. Note that this program will change directories to where the dvi file is located so any included graphics files can be found.
