[307,50] README.1ST RUNOFF (version S1.4) -- DECUS Fall '83 Symposium Distribution This submission is a further development of a version of RUNOFF which was submitted to the last three symposia under this UIC ([307,50]). (Earlier submissions were labeled as versions M3.0X and M3.0.) This version of RUNOFF is currently supported by a Working Group of the RSX Special Interest Group. The working group intends to continue adding features to this version of RUNOFF, including features available in other versions "out there" and features not known to be available in any version. Features added since the Spring '83 submission are described in the file CHANGES. as items 95-99. Several bugs have been fixed. The notable changes are: o Added the ability to suspend processing of the input file and get input from another file. When the secondary file is completed, processing of the original file resumes. o Added the ability to limit hyphenation to only those points spcified in the input. (This provides the ability to supress the algorithm RUNOFF normally uses for hyphenation.) o Added the ability to have pages numbered consecutively throughout a document even if the CHAPTER and APPENDIX commands are used. o Reworked the processing of blank lines automatically output by commands so that excessive blank lines are not output when such commands occur in succession. o Added the ability to turn off the significance of all the RUNOFF "special characters." o Fixed the processing of subpages so that subpage letters appear in the index and tables of contents. o The default tabs are now set if no argument at all is supplied to a TABS STOP command. o During processing of LITERAL sections, each page mark (formfeed character) in the input causes a new output page to be started. README.2ND contains an annotated list of all the files submitted and provides installation information.
