OLDPTI(1)  —  USER COMMANDS

NAME

oldpti − phototypesetter interpreter

SYNOPSIS

/usr/old/pti [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Note: This program is considered to be obsolete, and will not be distributed or supported in future Sun releases. 

pti shows the commands in a stream from the standard output of troff(1) using troff’s −t option, interpreting the  commands as they would act on the typesetter.  Horizontal motions show as counts in internal units and are marked with < and > indicating left and right motion.  Vertical space is called leading and is also indicated. 

The output is really cryptic unless you are an experienced C/A/T hardware person.  It is better to use ‘troff  −a’.
