tc

PURPOSE

     Simulates  phototypesetter output  for  a Tektronix  4014
     work station.

SYNOPSIS
     tc [ -t ] [ -pl ] [ file ]


DESCRIPTION

     The tc  command interprets  its input,  either a  file or
     standard input,  as a troff document.   It then simulates
     the typesetter  output for a Tektronix  4014 work station
     with ASCII and APL character  sets and writes the results
     to standard  output (usually  the work  station display).
     The 16 typesetter  sizes are mapped into  the 4014's four
     sizes; the entire troff character  set is drawn using the
     4014's character generator,  with overstruck combinations
     where necessary.

      At the  end of each page, tc waits  for a new-line char-
     acter  from the  keyboard before  continuing to  the next
     page.  While  it is  waiting, the command  "e" suppresses
     the screen  erase before  the next page.   !AIX-cmd sends
     AIX-cmd to the shell.

     There are no font distinctions in the display.

FLAGS

     -pnum letter   Sets  page  length  to num  and  scale  to
                    letter.   letter  may  include  the  scale
                    factors p (points),  i (inches), c (centi-
                    meters),  and P  (picas).  The  default is
                    picas.  Do not put a space between num and
                    letter.
     -t             Does  not wait  between  pages  (use in  a
                    pipeline).

EXAMPLE

     To use tc in a pipeline with troff:

       troff  -t  chapter1  |  tc
