NAME
Dmgr - A rudimentary troff previewer for mgr

SYNOPSIS
ditroff [ <ditroff args> ] ... | Dmgr

DESCRIPTION
Dmgr is a simple troff previewer for MGR . It reads ditroff output and places characters on an MGR window in their proper relative location on the page, using whatever MGR character font happens to be current. Bold face is indicated by overstiking, italics by underlining. Dmgr pauses at the end of every page and rings the bell. A RETURN causes dmgr to continue with the next page.

BUGS

*   Dmgr uses the current Mgr font for output, which is probably never the appropriate font to use. As such Dmgr is useful for previewing the page layout; not for actually reading the document.

*   Dmgr doesn't know about special characters or ligatures, which are printed as dashes "-".

*   Dmgr invents a page size, suitable for 8-½ by 11 inch printers instead of extracting it from ditroff output.
