TC(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual TC(1) NNAAMMEE tc - photoypesetter simulator SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ttcc [ --tt ] [ --ssN ] [ --ppL ] [ file ] DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _T_c interprets its input (standard input default) as device codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat). The standard output of _t_c is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a 4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character sets). The six- teen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's four sizes; the entire TROFF character set is drawn using the 4014's character generator, using overstruck combinations where necessary. Typical usage: troff -t file | tc At the end of each page _t_c waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page. In this wait state, the command ee will suppress the screen erase before the next page; ssN will cause the next N pages to be skipped; and !!line will send line to the shell. The command line options are: --tt Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a file. --ssN Skip the first N pages. --ppL Set page length to L. L may include the scale factors pp (points), ii (inches), cc (centimeters), and PP (picas); default is picas. ''--_l _w'' Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed page by _l/_w. SSEEEE AALLSSOO troff(1), plot(1G) BBUUGGSS Font distinctions are lost. _t_c's character set is limited to ASCII in just one size. The aspect ratio option is unbelievable.
