PWB/UNIX `troff` source code (1977)

===================================

This is the source code for the original AT&T version of `troff`, dated

May 1977-1978. It was extracted from a tarball holding the original PWB

source [published][1] by The Unix Heritage Society:

> [http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/PDP-11/Distributions/usdl/bostic_pwb.tar.gz][1]

The files in this repository's root directory are garnish added for VCS

or GitHub-specific purposes. Everything in the immediate subdirectories

has been left untouched from their extraction. The file timestamps date

are back to October 25th, 1978.
