| 11 | .sh DESCRIPTION |
| 12 | .it Collpr |
| 13 | simulates a model 37 teletype for doing |
| 14 | .it nroff |
| 15 | output on the line printer. |
| 16 | Pages are buffered and reverse line-feed and half-line feed sequences |
| 17 | are interpreted. |
| 18 | .s3 |
| 19 | Half-line up material is overstruck on the previous line, half-line |
| 20 | down material is struck on the current line. |
| 21 | In general, though, overstruck characters are lost, except for |
| 22 | underlining. |
| 23 | Combinations of `\-' or `_' and `|' are turned into `+', i.e. at the |
| 24 | corner of boxes. |
| 25 | .s3 |
| 26 | The optional argument |
| 27 | .bd \- |
| 28 | causes the output to be sent to the standard |
| 29 | output. |
| 30 | By default it is sent to an instance of the line printer daemon, |
| 31 | .it lpr |
| 32 | (I). |
| 33 | .s3 |
| 34 | A typical usage of |
| 35 | .it collpr |
| 36 | would be |
| 37 | .s3 |
| 38 | .dt |
| 39 | tbl exum2.n | nroff \-ms | collpr |
| 40 | .s3 |
| 41 | to |
| 42 | .it nroff |
| 43 | the document in the file |
| 44 | .it exum2.n |
| 45 | and send it to the line printer with a approximation of the tables |
| 46 | printing there. |

| 51 | .sh BUGS |
| 52 | Output can't be backed up more than 102 lines. |
| 53 | .s3 |
| 54 | Overstriking is lost. |
| 55 | .s3 |
| 56 | Lines are trimmed to 132 characters. |
| 57 | .s3 |
| 58 | Superscripts of the first output line are lost. |
| 59 | .s3 |
| 60 | If more than one file is specified, the program does not pad |
| 61 | the files out with a form feed as |
| 62 | .it lpr |
| 63 | would do. |
| 64 | .s3 |
| 65 | Should move subscripts down a line rather than printing them |
| 66 | on the same line as the normal material. |
