.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
This package of \fBnroff\fR and \fBtroff\fR macro definitions provides a canned
formatting facility for technical papers in various formats. When producing
2-column output on a terminal, filter the output through \fBcol\fR(1).
.sp
.LP
The macro requests are defined below. Many \fBnroff\fR and \fBtroff\fR requests
are unsafe in conjunction with this package, however, these requests may be
used with impunity after the first \fB\&.pp\fR:
