Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nroff (short for "new roff") is a Unix text-formatting program; it produces output suitable for simple fixed-width printers and terminal windows. It is an integral part of the Unix help system, being used to format man pages for display. It was a descendant of the RUNOFF program from CTSS, the first computerized text-formatting program, and is a predecessor of the Unix troff document processing system. There is also a free software version of nroff in the groff package. nroff was written by Joe Ossanna.
