.appendix RUNOFF (SPALDING version) .p The version of RUNOFF by Charles Spalding shares many features with the current version. Some of these are implemented by different names. For example, the _.EVEN command in Spalding is the same as _.PAGE EVEN in this version. If you have text produced on the Spalding version that you wish to run on the Bonner lab version, you can simulate most commands via the _.DEFINE COMMAND. For example, _.EVEN can be simulated with: .s.i5;_.DEFINE COMMAND /EVEN/PAGE EVEN .p Here is a partial list of Spalding commands with the Bonner Lab equivalents. .lm+5 .ts +20 .nf ^&Spalding Bonner Lab\& .s _.AUTOCONTENTS _.ENABLE LEVELS _.BLOCK _.TEXT DEFERRED _.PRINT _.TYPE _.RIGHT JUSTIFY _.RIGHT _.DISABLE CONTENTS _.DISABLE TOC _.EVEN _.PAGE EVEN _.ODD _.PAGE ODD _.DUMP _.FLUSH _.ALTERNATE _.ENABLE ODD _.NO ALTERNATE _.DISABLE ODD _.PAGE NAME _.DISPLAY NUMBER " _.INCLUDE _.VARIANT _.EXCLUDE _.NO VARIANT _.OPTION _.IF _.END OPTION _.ENDIF _.ENABLE SPECIAL _.FLAGS ALL _.DISABLE SPECIAL _.NO FLAGS ALL .f.p Other features, such as _.PRINT CONTENTS, cannot be easily simulated, but they can be turned into non operations, commands (comments), or the error messages can be ignored. The following commands are the same, but incompatible with Spaulding: .list 0 .le;_.FIGURE in Spaulding is _.FIGURE DEFERRED in RUNOFF. .le;_.LITERAL in Spaulding still recognizes flags. .le;_.TITLE is same as _.FIRST TITLE .le;_.REQUIRE does not use quotes around file name. .le;_.TEST PAGE extra parameters are not same. .le;_.FOOTNOTE must be ended by ! in Spaulding. .els 0 .p A comparison with DSR (Digital Standard Runoff) can be found in the appendix titled "List of Commands". Unfortunately there are now many dialects of RUNOFF, and a complete comparison with all of them is not possible. Only Spaulding, DSR, and the old DECUS standard RNO are mentioned in this documentation. The author of RUNOFF is indebted to the monumental Runoff comparison article by Allen Watson in the March 84 issue of the Pageswapper.
