To give you an idea of the age of this software, Bonner Lab at Rice

No escape codes. Just text, and return without line feed to overprint one line
on another, to do underlining. If you don’t use underlines, the text is just
plain text, suitable for viewing with “cat” or “more”.

Bonner Lab Runoff is a text formatter that, when used with your favorite
editor, makes a complete word processor. Its syntax is almost a comple

Not any version I have ever seen; they all produce plain lineprinter output
(with overprinting for things like underlining).
I wouldn't mind running a file through runoff either, or building the
Pascal code that was mentioned. It would be a good excuse to do something
with one of my machines.

I think legalize said he wrote a converter once. I don't know if he
published it.

Someone (possibly me) surely can process the files with dec runoff
directly? Doesnt it support postscript output?

I can build the converter in pascal and run it against the files if it
helps? Regards Mark

Hi
I have multiple DEC Runoff (.rno extension) files for the manual on DEC's
MSCP protocol. I'd like to convert them to a modern format. The manual is
dated circa 1992 incorporating ecos thru MSCP23-4 and is revision 2.4 (or
later) of MSCP. What appears to be an early version (Apr 1982 rev 1
