ro version 1.00 -- Release of PC-Compatible Binaries
----------------------------------------------------
Description:
-----------
"ro" is a text formatter with some of the capabilities
of the Unix (tm, AT&T) "nroff" text formatter. It is
based on an honorable tradition of CP/M and DOS formatters
which go back to the ROFF formatter described in Kernigan
and Plauger's <Software Tools>. It is copyrighted and
distributed as "freeware," i.e., you can use it for any
purpose as long as you don't make money off of it, or
try to claim that you wrote it.
Files:
-----
ro.exe executable program
tmac.m a macro package
termnull.exe filters out all printer codes
termansi.exe assigns printer codes for ANSI
terminal
termnx10.exe assigns printer codes for Star
Micronics NX10 printer
termnx10.c source code for above (a sample
printer filter program)
term.h include file for the above
ro.doc primary documentation in "ro"
format
ro.qrf quick reference guide
test.doc test document showing use of end-
note macros
read.me this document
Reading and printing the manual:
-------------------------------
The manual (file "ro.doc") is in "ro" format, and must be read
using "ro" and a filter program. If you have the Unix or DOS
pager "more" installed in your path, you can read it page-by-
page with the command
ro ro.doc | termnull | more
If your DOS computer has ANSI.SYS installed, or your Unix terminal
supports ANSI escape sequences, the following command will show
bold as bold and italics as underline:
ro ro.doc | termansi | more
The manual can br printed to any printer with the command(s):
ro ro.doc | termnull | lp (Unix)
ro ro.doc | termnull >prn (DOS)
With the Star Micronics NX10 printer, you may substitute
"termnx10" for "termnull" in the above command lines. Instructions
for creating filters for other printers are included in "ro.doc".
Source Code:
-----------
The source code for "ro" will be posted to comp.sources.unix.
