Text Processing with UNIX

447 Pages. Some minor cover edge wear and back cover has some creasing. Interior is faultless. Intermational Computer Science Series. The UNIX operating system includes a powerful text formatting system nroff/troff. This provides the facilities of a word processing system together with very powerful formatting features that allow the user to create all sorts of fancy effects, such as printing with curved marigns. The documentation of nroff/troff is opaque to the point of impenetrability, and the aim of this book is to open up the capabilities of UNIX text formatting to a wider audience. The text of the book was prepared using nroff, and the final text was typeset by the authors using troff.
