| 10 | nettroff \- troff to the phototypesetter over the network | |
| 11 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 12 | .B nettroff | |
| 13 | troff arguments | |
| 14 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | .I Nettroff | |
| 16 | runs | |
| 17 | .IR troff (1) | |
| 18 | and sends the output over the network to the machine at the Computer Center | |
| 19 | with the phototypesetter (currently the ``A'' machine.) | |
| 20 | It will prompt you for an account name and password on the A machine unless | |
| 21 | you have provided these in your | |
| 22 | .I \&.netrc | |
| 23 | file. | |
| 24 | The | |
| 25 | .I troff | |
| 26 | .B \-s | |
| 27 | option is unnecessary and not permitted. | |
| 28 | .LP | |
| 29 | .I Nettroff | |
| 30 | jobs are limited to 15 feet of typesetter output. | |
| 31 | It is also a good idea to limit the size of the individual files sent, | |
| 32 | as the network uses a shortest-job-first scheduling algorithm. | |
| 33 | Jobs of 25000 characters or less are preferable; in no case will the | |
| 34 | network accept jobs longer than 100000 characters. | |
| 35 | .SH SEE ALSO | |
| 36 | vtroff(1), net(1), troff(1) | |
| 37 | .SH BUGS | |
| 38 | There is no way to specify special font mounts on the A machine. | |

| 50 | If on a Computer Center machine (B, C, D, or E) use the | |
| 51 | .I troff | |
| 52 | command (see | |
| 53 | .IR troff (1)) | |
| 54 | for more information. |
