.sh DESCRIPTION
This package of 
.it nroff
and
.it troff
macro definitions provides a canned formatting
.li
facility for tech%nical papers.
When producing 2-column output on a terminal, its
output should be filtered through
.it col
(I).
.s3
The package supports three different formats:
BTL technical memorandum with cover sheet,
released paper with cover sheet,
and an abbreviated `debugging' form without
cover sheet.
.s3
The macro requests are defined in the attached
Request Reference.
Many
.it nroff
and
.it troff
requests are unsafe in conjunction with
this package, however the requests listed below may be used with
impunity after the first .PP.
