RUNOFF
From Computer History Wiki
RUNOFF was one of the first text formatting applications. It was written by Jerry Saltzer, on 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.
