Annotation of cci/usr/src/usr.lib/tmac/ms/README, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This directory, /usr/lib/ms, contains various macro files used
        !             2: by the -ms package, along with various scripts that are useful
        !             3: for text formatting.  These scripts are not supported commands--
        !             4: they are examples that may assist you with document preparation.
        !             5: These scripts are described below:
        !             6: 
        !             7: endnote
        !             8: -------
        !             9: This program takes -ms footnotes (text placed between .FS and .FE
        !            10: macros) and moves them to the end of your output.  It should be
        !            11: used with numbered footnotes, which are entered like this:
        !            12: 
        !            13:        this is best explained by Hodgkins.\**
        !            14:        .FS
        !            15:        Arthur Hodgkins, \fIThe Bone Marrow,\fP
        !            16:        Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1982.
        !            17:        .FE
        !            18: 
        !            19: When you want to produce numbered endnotes instead of footnotes,
        !            20: you can run the program as follows:
        !            21: 
        !            22:        % /usr/lib/ms/endnote filename(s) | nroff -ms
        !            23: 
        !            24: Other nroff options, such as -T to specify terminal type, may
        !            25: also be given.  If you're using refer, tbl, or eqn, they should
        !            26: follow /usr/lib/ms/endnote, in the proper order.  The endnote
        !            27: program creates the file "endnotes" in the working directory;
        !            28: the file is removed afterward endnote finishes.  If this file
        !            29: already exists, the program exits with an error message.
        !            30: 
        !            31: After a while you may find it more convenient to copy this script
        !            32: to your own directory, rather than saying /usr/lib/ms/endnote
        !            33: every time you want to run it.  To do this, type:
        !            34: 
        !            35:        % cp /usr/lib/ms/endnote endnote
        !            36:        % chmod +x endnote
        !            37: 
        !            38: The first command will copy it into your working directory, and
        !            39: the second will make it executable.
        !            40: 
        !            41: swapacc
        !            42: -------
        !            43: This program takes accent marks in the old -ms format (where they
        !            44: come before the accented letter) and changes them into the new .AM
        !            45: format (where the come after the accented letter).
        !            46: 
        !            47:        Old format:     t\*'el\*'ephone
        !            48:        New format:     te\*'le\*'phone
        !            49: 
        !            50: The swapacc program is best run from inside the editor:
        !            51: 
        !            52:        :1,$ ! /usr/lib/ms/swapacc
        !            53: 
        !            54: The first to the last lines of the editor buffer will be sent to
        !            55: the shell, which will run /usr/lib/ms/swapacc, and then return
        !            56: all lines to where they were before.
        !            57:
