tc(1)                                                       tc(1)



     NAME
          tc, otc - phototypesetter simulator

     SYNOPSIS
          tc [-t] [-olist] [-an] [-e] [file]

          otc [-t] [-sn] [-p] [file]

     DESCRIPTION
          tc interprets its input (standard input default) as output
          from troff(1).  The standard output of tc is intended for a
          TEKTRONIX 4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character sets.
          The various typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's four
          sizes; the entire troff character set is drawn using the
          4014's character generator, using overstruck combinations
          where necessary, producing an altogether displeasing effect.
          otc performs a similar function for the old troff, (otroff).
          Typical usage is:

                         troff file | tc

                         otroff -t file | otc

          At the end of each page, tc waits for a newline (empty line)
          from the keyboard before continuing to the next page.  In
          this wait state, the following commands are recognized:

          !cmd   Send cmd to the shell.

          e      Invert state of the screen erase (tc); do not erase
                 screen before next page (otc).

          -n     Skip backward n pages (tc only).

          n      Print page n (tc only).

          sn     Skip forward n pages (otc only).

          an     Set the aspect ratio to n (tc only).

          ?      Print list of available options (tc only).

          The flag options are:

          -t       Do not wait between pages (for directing output
                   into a file).

          -olist   Prints only the pages enumerated in list.  The list
                   consists of pages and page ranges (e.g., 5-17)
                   separated by commas.  The range n- goes from n to
                   the end; the range -n goes from the beginning to
                   and including page n (tc only).

          -an      Set the aspect ratio to n; default is 1.5 (tc
                   only).

          -e       Do not erase before each page (tc only).

          -sn      Skip the first n pages (otc only).

          -pl      Set page length to l; l may include the scale
                   factors p (points), i (inches), c (centimeters),
                   and P (picas); default is picas (otc only).

     BUGS
          Font distinctions are lost.
          It needs a -w flag option to wait for input to arrive.
