.sh 1 Introduction

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 .
