Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The Heirloom Documentation Tools package provides troff, nroff, and related utilities to format manual pages and other documents for output on terminals and printers. They are portable and enhanced versions of the utilities released by Sun as part of OpenSolaris, which are a variant of ditroff, which, in turn, descends from the historical Unix troff that generated output for the C/A/T phototypesetter.
