| meillo@147 | 3 This document was typeset with the |
| meillo@147 | 4 .I troff |
| meillo@147 | 5 document preparation system on Unix. |
| meillo@159 | 6 After having typset my diploma thesis with LaTeX, |
| meillo@159 | 7 the choice for troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt. |
| meillo@147 | 8 .P |
| meillo@147 | 9 I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools, |
| meillo@147 | 10 and built upon the |
| meillo@147 | 11 .I ms |
| meillo@147 | 12 macro package. |
| meillo@147 | 13 To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced |
| meillo@147 | 14 clumpsy parts of ms. |
| meillo@147 | 15 My own macro code comprises about 400 lines. |
| meillo@147 | 16 Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly |
| meillo@147 | 17 portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals, |
| meillo@147 | 18 occasionally. |
| meillo@147 | 19 .P |
| meillo@147 | 20 My troff setup was inspired and guided by |
| meillo@147 | 21 Dougherty and O'Reilly's |
| meillo@147 | 22 .I "UNIX Text Processing |
| meillo@147 | 23 and by chapter seven of Bourne's |
| meillo@147 | 24 .I "The UNIX System" . |
| meillo@147 | 25 The |
| meillo@147 | 26 .I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual |
| meillo@147 | 27 added definitive answers. |

| meillo@147 | 29 The typesetting command line read something like: |
| meillo@147 | 30 .VS |
