+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Roffbib
+prints out all records in a bibliographic database,
+in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.
+Generally it is used in conjunction with
+.IR sortbib :
+.LP
+.RS
+sortbib  database | roffbib
+.RE
+.LP
+.I Roffbib
+accepts most of the options understood by
+.IR nroff (1),
+most importantly the
+.B \-T
+flag to specify terminal type.
+.PP
+If abstracts or comments are entered following the %X field key,
+.I roffbib
+will format them into paragraphs for an annotated bibliography.
+Several %X fields may be given if several
+annotation paragraphs are desired.
+The
+.B \-x
+flag will suppress the printing of these abstracts.
+.PP
+A user-defined set of macros
+may be specified after the
+.B \-m
+option.
+There should be a space between the
+.B \-m
+and the macro filename.
+This set of macros will replace the ones
+defined in /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.
+The
+.B \-V
+flag will send output to the Versatec; the
+.B \-Q
+flag will queue output for the phototypesetter.
+.PP
+Four command-line registers control formatting style
+of the bibliography, much like the number registers of
+.IR ms (7).
+The command-line argument
+.BR \-r N1
+will number
+the references starting at one (1).
+The flag
+.BR \-r V2
+will double space the biblio\%graphy,
+while
+.BR \-r V1
+will double space references
+but single space annotation paragraphs.
+The line length can be changed from the default 6.5 inches
+to 6 inches with the
+.BR \-r L6i
+argument,
+and the page offset can be set from the default of 0
+to one inch by specifying
+.BR \-r O1i
+(capital O, not zero).
+Note: with the
+.B \-V
+and
+.B \-Q
+flags
+the default page offset is already one inch.
