    NAME
         tc - photoypesetter simulator

    SYNOPSIS
         tc [ -t ] [ -sN ] [ -pL ] [ file ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Tc interprets its input (standard input default) as device
         codes for a Graphic Systems phototypesetter (cat).  The
         standard output of tc is intended for a Tektronix 4015 (a
         4014 terminal with ASCII and APL character sets).	The six-
         teen 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.  Typical usage:

    		    troff -t file | tc

         At the end of each page tc waits for a newline (empty line)
         from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page.  In
         this wait state, the command e will suppress the screen
         erase before the next page; sN will cause the next N pages
         to be skipped; and !line will send line to the shell.

         The command line options are:

         -t   Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a
    	  file.

         -sN  Skip the first N pages.

         -pL  Set page length to L.  L may include the scale factors
    	  p (points), i (inches), c (centimeters), and P (picas);
    	  default is picas.

         '-l w'
    	  Multiply the default aspect ratio, 1.5, of a displayed
    	  page by l/w.

    BUGS
         Font distinctions are lost.
         tc's character set is limited to ASCII in just one size.
         The aspect ratio option is unbelievable.
