Command: nro
NRO is a text processor and formatter based on the design provided in
"Software Tools" by Kernighan and Plauger. The text and commands
found in the infile(s) are processed to generate formatted text. The
output may be directed into a file or to the printer, otherwise, the
output will appear at the user console.
Syntax:
nro [-n] [+n] [-pxx] [-v] [-u] [-b] [-mmacfile] infile ...
[>outfile]
Options:
The +n option causes the output to start with page n.
The -n option causes the output to stop after page n.
The -v option prints the version number to the console.
The -p option causes the output to be shifted to the right by xx
spaces. This has the same effect as the .po command.
The -u option enables underlining and bold to appear in the
output text.
The -b option allows backspaces to be used when underlining or
overstriking. Otherwise a carriage return without linefeed is
used. This has the same effect as the .bs command with a non-
zero argument.
The -m option processes the file mfile for macro definitions. Note
that files processed in this way should contain only macro
definitions, no immediate output should be generated from this file.
