23 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
24 | .I Tc | |
25 | interprets its | |
26 | input (standard input default) | |
27 | as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat). | |
28 | The standard output of | |
29 | .I tc | |
e10861db | 30 | is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal |
5058d819 KM |
31 | with ASCII and APL character sets). |
32 | The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's | |
33 | four sizes; | |
34 | the entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's | |
35 | character generator, | |
36 | using overstruck combinations where necessary. | |
37 | Typical usage: | |

41 | At the end of each page | |
42 | .I tc | |
43 | waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before | |
44 | continuing on to the next page. | |
45 | In this wait state, the command | |
46 | .B e | |
47 | will suppress the screen erase before the next page; | |
48 | .B s\c | |
49 | N will cause the next N pages to be skipped; | |
50 | and | |
51 | .B !\c | |
52 | line will send line to the shell. | |
