This is my initial release of ROFF5, v2.00 for MS-DOS:
It suppercedes ROFF4, v1.61 and v1.62 which have previously
been placed in the public domain. This new formatter has evolved
to follow more closely the naming conventions of the UNIX[R by
AT&T] text formatting programs, nroff and troff.
There are considerable differences in that it supports the
use of longer register and macro names, supports a large variety
of inexpensive output devices, and provide the user with the
ability to generate custom characters (such as Greek symbols for
mathematics).
This formatter is not intended to replace a WYSIWYG word
processor which is more convenient for short notes, etc. This
formatter is great for longer reports where one wants to follow a
particular style, such as doing all the paragraphs the same way,
using numbering of each section, etc.
I look forward to receiving comments, concerns, bug reports,
etc. To minimize confusion this distribution is "ROFF5, version
2.00".
