IPTROFF(1)IPTROFF(1)NAMEiptroff - convert troff to Interpress
SYNOPSISiptroff [ -D device ] [ -o output-file ] [ -t ] troff arguments
DESCRIPTION
Iptroff runs troff(1) sending its output through dipress(1) to produce
typeset output for an Interpress printer. As the document is pro‐
cessed, the names of the passes will be printed. This can be sup‐
pressed with the -q (quiet) switch. If the troff -t switch is speci‐
fied, however, the troff output will be sent directly to the standard
output and not piped through dipress. In addition, the -q option is
assumed with the -t option. If the -D switch is specified, then the
font metrics for the named device will be used instead of the default
set. The actual printer that the Interpress master gets sent to is
site dependent. If the -o option is specified, then the Interpress
master is left in the specified file rather than being transmitted to a
print server.
The default font is TroffClassic which is the normal Xerox Classic font
augmented to provide all the special characters found in the troff man‐
ual with the single exception of the Bell System Logo.
Example:
iptroff-ms paper
will set a paper with the ``ms'' macro package in the TroffClassic.
