+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This package of
+.I nroff
+and
+.I troff
+macro definitions provides a canned formatting
+facility for tech%nical papers in various formats.
+When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter
+the output through
+.IR col (1).
+.PP
+The macro requests are defined below.
+Many
+.I nroff
+and
+.I troff
+requests are unsafe in conjunction with
+this package, however these requests may be used with
+impunity after the first .pp:
+.nf
+.IP
+.ta \w'.sz +n 'u
+\&.bp begin new page
+\&.br break output line here
+\&.sp n insert n spacing lines
+\&.ls n (line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
+\&.na no alignment of right margin
+\&.ce n center next n lines
+\&.ul n underline next n lines
+\&.sz +n add n to point size
+.fi
+.PP
+Output of the
+.I eqn,
+.I neqn,
+.I refer,
+and
+.IR tbl (1)
+preprocessors
+for equations and tables is acceptable as input.
