     1.6 +This document was typeset with the
     1.7 +.I troff
     1.8 +document preparation system on Unix.
     1.9 +After having typset my diploma thesis with Latex, the choice for
    1.10 +troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt.
    1.11 +.P
    1.12 +I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
    1.13 +and built upon the
    1.14 +.I ms
    1.15 +macro package.
    1.16 +To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
    1.17 +clumpsy parts of ms.
    1.18 +My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
    1.19 +Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
    1.20 +portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
    1.21 +occasionally.
    1.22 +.P
    1.23 +I am satisfied with the result, with the exception of the English spacing.
    1.24 +.P
    1.25 +My troff setup was inspired and guided by
    1.26 +Dougherty and O'Reilly's
    1.27 +.I "UNIX Text Processing
    1.28 +and by chapter seven of Bourne's
    1.29 +.I "The UNIX System" .
    1.30 +The
    1.31 +.I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual
    1.32 +added definitive answers.

    1.34 +The typesetting command line read something like:
