README.md
This is mainly a re-release of RUNOFF. Some minor bugs have been fixed
from the last tape. This also includes 2 new switches:
/BT - to give book-style title lines (page numbers on alternate
sides of the page.
/SC - For Diablo/NEC spinwriters, to make "dark" shift
1/120 inch instead of overprinting.
NOTE:
It has been discovered that controll things (underscore, case shift,
etc) do not work properly or reliably in ".HEADER LEVEL's". There
is nothing that can be done without some major re-work, and I don't
know of anyone who has that kind of time (I certainly don't!).
To tell the truth, anyone willing to expend that much effort would
be better advised to re-write the whole thing, probably in C.
See the document for explanation of margin settings in
table-of-contents.

To install runoff: Type "@MAKRNO", then throw away the .TSK file
you don't want. You may want to edit the task-build file to
modify defaults.
At Fermilab, we have used these modifications without problems for
some time. If you have problems, call Daniel B. Curtis at
(312) 840-3927. The fixes for change bar were done by Dan Curtis
(no longer at Fermilab) The other stuff was done by Ray Van
Tassle, Motorola, (312)-576-6017
As part of my changes, I may have lost the command files that were
specific to RSTS. If so, sorry. RVT
