.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tc\^
interprets its
input (standard input default)
as device codes for a Wang Laboratories, Inc. C/A/T phototypesetter.
The standard output of
.I tc\^
is intended for a Tektronix 4014 terminal
with
.SM ASCII
and
.SM APL
character sets.
The sixteen typesetter sizes are mapped into the 4014's
four sizes;
the entire
.SM TROFF
character set is drawn using the 4014's
character generator,
with overstruck combinations where necessary.
Typical usage is:
.RS
.PP
troff\| \-t\| files\| \(bv\| tc
.RE
.PP
At the end of each page,
.I tc\^
waits for a new-line (empty line) from the keyboard before
continuing on to the next page.
In this wait state, the command
.B e
will
.I suppress\^
the screen erase before the next page;
.BI s n\^
will cause the next
.I n\^
pages to be skipped;
and
.BI ! cmd\^
will send
.I cmd\^
to the shell.
.PP
The command line options are:
.TP "\w'\-sn  'u"
.B \-t
Don't wait between pages (for directing output into a file).
.TP
.BI \-s n\^

.B p
(points),

(inches),
