+.H- Colophon no
+.P
+This document was typeset with the
+.I troff
+document preparation system on Unix.
+After having typset my diploma thesis with Latex, the choice for
+troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt.
+.P
+I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
+and built upon the
+.I ms
+macro package.
+To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
+clumpsy parts of ms.
+My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
+Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
+portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
+occasionally.
+.P
+I am satisfied with the result, with the exception of the English spacing.
+.P
+My troff setup was inspired and guided by
+Dougherty and O'Reilly's
+.I "UNIX Text Processing
+and by chapter seven of Bourne's
+.I "The UNIX System" .
+The
+.I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual
+added definitive answers.
+.P
+The typesetting command line read something like:
+.VS
+export TROFFONTS=fonts REFER=bib
+soelim style *.roff | refer -e -P -sLAD -l,2 -k | \
+        grap | pic | troff -Tps -ms 2>err.ig | dpost >thesis.ps

+.P
+The complete sources of this document, as well as final versions in
+PDF and Postscript format, are available on my website:

+.P
+This document may be copied and redistributed in complete form.
+Apart from that, follow the scientific custom:
+Quote and acknowledge the reference.
