Hello Ralf,

Still an excellent tool I consider TROFF, now GROFF, for Unix/Linux
-which also exists for Windows, appeared in 1990 (Version 0.3.1) by
James Clark) coming from  “a text-formatting program called RUNOFF,
which was written by Jerome H. Saltzer for MIT's CTSS operating system
in the mid-1960s!

I wouldn't touch any of that stuff with a barge pole these days. Either
LibreOffice Writer already fits the bill, or I would much rather use a
tool like Scribus these days...

troff (as groff) is still very much alive today, as far as I can tell.
And the troff format is still the default source format for man pages on
Linux.  It is quite a good format for the job, if you ask me.

Thank you!
