Name: awf - Manpage formatter to replace nroff
Version: not stated
Author(s): Henry Spencer <henry@zoo.toronto.edu>
Ftp source: ftp.uu.net:/pub/text-processing
Description:
This is awf, the Amazingly Workable Formatter -- an "nroff -man"
or (subset) "nroff -ms" clone written entirely in (old) awk.
It is slow and has many restrictions, but does a decent job on
most manual pages and simple -ms documents, and isn't subject to
AT&T's brain-damaged licensing that denies many System V users
any text formatter at all. It is also a text formatter that is
simple enough to be tinkered with, for people who want to
experiment.
-- Quoted from the README file
Advertised architectures:
I don't know whether awf will run on 16-bit machines. Data
requirements are modest, but I fear the programs are probably big
enough to run awk out of space.

Prerequisites:
awk
