View source for RUNOFF

'''RUNOFF''' was one of the first [[word processor|text formatting]] [[application]]s. It was written by [[Jerry Saltzer]], on [[Compatible Time-Sharing System|CTSS]]. Input files for RUNOFF were prepared with a special editor, [[TYPSET]].

RUNOFF is (via re-implementations on [[Multics]]) the ancestor of the [[roff]]/[[nroff]]/etc series on [[UNIX]]; also similar text formatting applications on other systems.
