     _N_r_o_f_f formats text in the named _f_i_l_e_s for typewriter-like
     devices.  See also _t_r_o_f_f(_1). The full capabilities of _n_r_o_f_f
     are described in the _N_r_o_f_f/_T_r_o_f_f _U_s_e_r'_s _M_a_n_u_a_l.

     If no _f_i_l_e argument is present, the standard input is read.
     An argument consisting of a single minus (--) is taken to be
     a file name corresponding to the standard input.

     The options, which may appear in any order so long as they
     appear _b_e_f_o_r_e the files, are:

     --oo_l_i_s_t Print only pages whose page numbers appear in the
	    comma-separated _l_i_s_t of numbers and ranges.  A range
	    _N--_M means pages _N through _M; an initial -_N means from
	    the beginning to page _N; and a final _N- means from _N
	    to the end.

     --nn_N    Number first generated page _N.

     --ss_N    Stop every _N pages.  _N_r_o_f_f will halt prior to every _N
	    pages (default _N=1) to allow paper loading or chang-
	    ing, and will resume upon receipt of a newline.

     --mm_n_a_m_e Prepend the macro file //uussrr//lliibb//ttmmaacc//ttmmaacc.._n_a_m_e to the
	    input _f_i_l_e_s.

     --rr_a_N   Set register _a (one-character) to _N.

     --ii     Read standard input after the input files are
	    exhausted.

     --qq     Invoke the simultaneous input-output mode of the rrdd
	    request.

     --TT_n_a_m_e Prepare output for specified terminal.  Known _n_a_m_e_s
	    are:

	  3377   for the Teletype Corporation Model 37 terminal,

	  ccrrtt  the default; linked to lpr and tn300, for the GE
	       TermiNet 300 (or any terminal without reverse-line
	       or half-line capability),

	  330000  for the DTC 300,
