NAME
tc - photypesetter simulator
SYNOPSIS
tc [ -t ] [ -sN ] [ -pL ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Tc interprets its input (standard input default) as device
codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat). The
standard output of tc is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a
4014 teminal with ASCII and APL character sets). The six-
teen 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. Typical usage:
troff -t file | tc
At the end of each page _t_c waits for a newline (empty line)
from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page. In
this wait state, the command e will suppress the screen
erase before the next page; sN will cause the next N pages
to be skipped; and !line will send line to the shell.
The command line options are:
-t Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a
file.
-sN Skip the first N pages.
-pL Set page length to L. L may include the scale factors
p (points), i (inches), c (centimeters), and P (picas);
default is picas.
'-lw'
Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed
page by l/w.
SEE ALSO
troff(1), plot(1)
BUGS
Font distinctions are lost.
tc's character set is limited to ASCII in just one size.
The aspect ratio option is unbelievable.
