.SH DESCRIPTION
This package of 
.I nroff
and
.I troff
macro definitions provides a canned formatting
facility for tech%nical papers in various formats.
When producing 2-column output on a terminal, filter
the output through
.IR  col (1).
.PP
The macro requests are defined below.
Many
.I nroff
and
.I troff
requests are unsafe in conjunction with
this package, however, these requests may be used with
impunity after the first .pp:
.nf
.IP
.ta \w'.sz +n  'u
\&.bp	begin new page
\&.br	break output line here
\&.sp n	insert n spacing lines
\&.ls n	(line spacing) n=1 single, n=2 double space
\&.na	no alignment of right margin
\&.ce n	center next n lines
\&.ul n	underline next n lines
\&.sz +n	add n to point size
.fi
.PP
Output of the
.I eqn,
.I neqn,
.I refer,
and
.IR  tbl (1)
preprocessors
for equations and tables is acceptable as input.
