True, but if you read Brian's book, he provides more details and color: nroff was the first real Unix application, and the first PDP-11 was purchased by the patent dept on the understanding that the Unix group would develop nroff. roff pre-dates Unix and didn't have the capabilities required by the patent group (automatically add line numbers to printed documents). |
