This is a copy of the version of RUNOFF as modified by the Triangle
LUG (primarily Jon Berntsen and Henry Tumblin). Note that it has
been much modified from the original DECUS RUNOFF, and includes
many new features, including the ability to include files within
a RUNOFF document. The code quality has been somewhat improved
(including removal of all self-modifying code, so it can be built
with a sharable pure area on those systems supporting that feature
-- e. g., RSX-11D, IAS, and RSX-11M/PLUS).
This version has been distributed to many sites but has never been
put on a DECUS tape. It is rumored to work properly on just about
any DEC PDP-11 type operating system, including VAX/VMS and RSTS,
though I don't think it will run under RT-11. Command files are
provided to create an executable version of the program; anyone
doing this should edit the file RNPRE.MAC beforehand to specify
things like machine type and operating system. The current version
is dated August 1980, and has not had major enhancements since that
date although there have been many bug fixes.
This is not officially supported by the Triangle LUG although there
are a number of sites interested in the program and we would be
interested in hearing about any bugs which anyone encounters, but
make no commitments to fixing any of them. Send any bugs or new
features to

There are some task images provided in this directory; these
will run correctly under RSX-11M V3.2, so rebuilding may not be
necessary for this system. Since they were created at the
Rockwell site, they probably reference FCSRES, so if your system
does not use FCSRES they will not run and you will have to build
the program again anyway.
