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.
