NETTROFF(1)

NAME
nettroff - troff to the phototypesetter over the network

SYNOPSIS
nettroff troff arguments

DESCRIPTION
Nettroff runs troff(1) and sends the output over the network to the machine at the Computer Center with the phototypesetter (currently the ``A'' machine.) It will prompt you for an account name and password on the A machine unless you have provided these in your .netrc file. The troff -s option is unneccessary and not permitted.

Nettroff jobs are limited to 15 feet of typesetter output. It is also a good idea to limit the size of the individual files sent, as the network uses a shortest-job-first scheduling algorithm. Jobs of 25000 characters or less are preferable; in no case will the network accept jobs longer than 100000 characters.

BUGS
There is no way to specify special font mounts on the A machine.
