[TUHS] troff was not so widely usable (was: The UNIX Command Language (1976))

[Ron Natalie]

I hated those things.   They were what we used for regular listings at 
BRL and the chemicals made my skin break out.  The chemicals also 
reacted with the ink in the standard government issue felt tip pens 
(which ironically were made by blind people) and caused your notes to 
fade quickly (and the pens to stop working).
