20 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
21 | .I Tc | |
22 | interprets its | |
23 | input (standard input default) | |
24 | as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat). | |
25 | The standard output of | |
26 | .I tc | |
27 | is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal | |
28 | with ASCII and APL character sets). | |
29 | The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's | |
30 | four sizes; | |
31 | the entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's | |
32 | character generator, | |
33 | using overstruck combinations where necessary. | |
34 | Typical usage: | |
35 | .IP "" 15 | |
36 | troff \-t file | tc | |
37 | .PP | |
38 | At the end of each page | |
39 | .I tc | |
40 | waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before | |
41 | continuing on to the next page. | |
42 | In this wait state, the command | |
43 | .B e | |
44 | will suppress the screen erase before the next page; | |
45 | .B s\c | |
46 | N will cause the next N pages to be skipped; | |
47 | and | |
48 | .B !\c | |
49 | line will send line to the shell. | |
50 | .PP | |
51 | The command line options are: | |
52 | .TP | |

55 | .TP | |
56 | .BR \-s N | |
57 | Skip the first N pages. | |
58 | .TP | |
59 | .BR \-p L | |
60 | Set page length to L. | |
61 | L may include the scale factors | |
62 | .B p | |
63 | (points), | |
64 | .B i | |
65 | (inches), | |
66 | .B c | |
67 | (centimeters), | |
