- This is nro, an implementation of nroff for the PC.
-
- A man page is included, which contains the instructions for use of nro.
-
- To produce the manual page from the file nro.nro, the command is:
-
- nro -man nro.nro >nro.man
-
- where the files "an." and "nro.nro" are in the current directory.
-
- I have used it to process man pages for various unix-like packages on the
- pc. Sometimes it won't handle certain commands used in more sophisticated
- documents, particularly if they were formatted for troff. Also, the
- use of .. to indicate end-of-macro is not supported. (It uses .en).
-
- This version was originally written for Computer Innovations C88 (I think)
- under DOS 1.x. The sources were obtained from wuarchive.wustl.edu.
- I have ported it to MS C 5.1. It is compiled under the small model.
- I have included a makefile for ndmake. I have not tested it very well,
- assuming that the original version worked as expected.
-
- Apparently it was taken from the Software Tools book by Kernighan and
- Plaugher and is supposed to implement the Unix V7 nroff capabilities.
