.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 .
