One cool thing I like about the history of Unix is how
|
||||
Unix developed into a document processing system.
|
||||
The short history of that is the Unix team wanted to
|
||||
purchase a new computer to keep working on Unix.
|
||||
But management said
|
||||
.q No.
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
Around that same time, the Patents team wanted to buy a
|
||||
new computer to write patent applications, but the
|
||||
vendor hadn't finished the software yet.
|
||||
The Unix team went to them and said:
|
||||
.(q
|
||||
Hey, if you buy us a new computer,
|
||||
we'll update the existing
|
||||
.b roff
|
||||
typesetting system so you can write patent applications.
|
||||
.)q
|
||||
.pp
|
||||
That's how Unix created the first
|
||||
.b nroff
|
||||
program,
|
||||
.i "new roff" .
|
||||
Later, they updated
|
||||
.b nroff
|
||||
to become
|
||||
.b troff ,
|
||||
the
|
||||
.i "typesetter roff" ,
|
||||
and even later
|
||||
.b ditroff ,
|
||||
the
|
||||
.i "device idenependent"
|
||||
version of
|
||||
.b troff .
