| 8 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 9 | .I Nettroff |
| 10 | runs |
| 11 | .IR troff (1) |
| 12 | and sends the output over the network to the machine at the Computer Center |
| 13 | with the phototypesetter (currently the ``A'' machine.) |
| 14 | It will prompt you for an account name and password on the A machine unless |
| 15 | you have provided these in your |
| 16 | .I \&.netrc |
| 17 | file. |
| 18 | The |
| 19 | .I troff |
| 20 | .B \-s |
| 21 | option is unneccessary and not permitted. |

| 23 | .I Nettroff |
| 24 | jobs are limited to 15 feet of typesetter output. |
| 25 | It is also a good idea to limit the size of the individual files sent, |
| 26 | as the network uses a shortest-job-first scheduling algorithm. |
| 27 | Jobs of 25000 characters or less are preferable; in no case will the |
| 28 | network accept jobs longer than 100000 characters. |
