meillo@147: This document was typeset with the
meillo@147: .I troff
meillo@147: document preparation system on Unix.
meillo@147: After having typset my diploma thesis with Latex, the choice for
meillo@147: troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt.
meillo@147: .P
meillo@147: I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
meillo@147: and built upon the
meillo@147: .I ms
meillo@147: macro package.
meillo@147: To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
meillo@147: clumpsy parts of ms.
meillo@147: My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
meillo@147: Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
meillo@147: portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
meillo@147: occasionally.
meillo@147: .P
meillo@147: My troff setup was inspired and guided by
meillo@147: Dougherty and O'Reilly's
meillo@147: .I "UNIX Text Processing
meillo@147: and by chapter seven of Bourne's
meillo@147: .I "The UNIX System" .
meillo@147: The
meillo@147: .I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual
meillo@147: added definitive answers.
