NRO(1)
NAME
nro - text processor
SYNOPSIS
nro inputfile [outputfile]
DESCRIPTION
NRO is a text processor and formatter based on the
design provided in Software Tools by Kernighan and
Plauger. The text and commands found in inputfile are
processed to generate formatted text. The output may be
directed into a file if outputfile is present in the
command line; otherwise, the output will appear at the
user console. Commands are distinguished by a period in
column one of the input followed by a two character
abbreviation for the command funtion. The abbreviation
may then be followed by an optional numerical argument.
The numerical argument may be an absolute value such as
setting the right margin to a particular column, or the
argument may be preceded by a plus sign or a minus sign
to indicate that the parameter should be modified
relative to a previous setting. The following commands
are recognized:
bp - begin page causes succeeding text to appear at the
top of a new page. The optional argument specifies
the page number for the new page. The default
value is one.
br - break causes succeeding text to start on a new
line at the current left margin. There is no
numerical argument for this command.
ce - causes the next line of text to appear centered on
the output. The optional argument specifies if
more than one line is to be centered.
fi - fill causes the input text to be rearranged to
obtain the maximum word count possible between the
previously set left and right margins. No argument
is expected.
fo - specifies text to be used for a footer. Leading
blanks may be recognized by preceding them with a
quotation mark. The absence of footer text
indicates that a footer should not be printed. The
presence of the character '#' in the text yields
the current page number.
he - specifies text to be used for a header. The format
is the same as for the footer.
in - indent left margin to the column value specified
by the argument. If no argument is provided, the
left margin is set to zero.
ju - justify causes blanks to be inserted between words
in a line of output in order to align the right

margin. The default is to justify.
ls - line spacing is set to the value specified by the
argument. The default is for single spacing.
nf - no fill specifies that succeeding text should be
printed without rearrangement.
nj - no justify specifies that no attempt should be
made to align the right margin. The default is to
justify.
pl - page length specifies the number of lines per
output page. The default is sixty-six.
rm - right margin sets the column value for the right
margin. The default is sixty.
sp - spacing sets the number of blank lines to be
output between printed lines.
ti - temporary indent alters the left margin value for
a single succeeding line of text.
ul - underlining is accomplished character by
character. The optional argument specifies the
number of lines to be underlined.
