      NAME
           tc, otc - troff output interpreter

      SYNTAX
           tc [ -t ] [ -olist ] [ -an ] [ -e ] [ file ]

           otc [ -t ] [ -sn ] [ -pl ] [ file ]

      DESCRIPTION
           Tc interprets its input (standard input default) as output
           from troff(1).  The standard output of tc is intended for a
           TEKTRONIX 4015 (a 4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character
           sets).  The various 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, producing an altogether
           displeasing effect.  Otc performs a similar function for the
           old TROFF, otroff (see nroff(1)).  Typical usage:

                          troff file | tc

                          otroff -t file | otc

           At the end of each page tc waits for a new-line (empty line)
           from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page.  In
           this wait state, the following commands are recognized:

           !cmd Send cmd to the shell.

           e    Invert state of the screen erase (tc); do not erase
                screen before next page (otc).

           -n   Skip backward n pages.  (tc only).

           n    Print page n.  (tc only).

           sn   Skip forward n pages.  (otc only).

           an   Set the aspect ratio to n.  (tc only).

           ?    Print list of available options.  (tc only).

           The command line options are:

           -t   Do not wait between pages (for directing output into a
                file).

           -olist
                Prints only the pages enumerated in list.  The list
                consists of pages and page ranges (e.g., 5-17)
                separated by commas. The range n- goes from n to the
                end; the range -n goes from the beginning to and

                including page n.  (tc only).

           -an  Set the aspect ratio to n; default is 1.5.  (tc only).

           -e   Do not erase before each page.  (tc only).

           -sn  Skip the first n pages.  (otc only).

           -pl  Set page length to l; l may include the scale factors p
                (points), i (inches), c (centimeters), and P (picas);
                Default is picas.  (otc only).

           Font distinctions are lost.
           It needs a -w option to wait for input to arrive.
