| 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 teminal |
| 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 |
| 53 | .B \-t |
| 54 | Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a file. |
| 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), |
| 68 | and |
| 69 | .B P |
| 70 | (picas); |
| 71 | default is picas. |
| 72 | .TP |
| 73 | .BI \(fm\- l\ w \(fm |
| 74 | Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed page |
| 75 | by |
| 76 | .I l/w. |

| 86 | The aspect ratio option is unbelievable. |
