NAME
reader - electronic retrieval of typeset documents
SYNOPSIS
reader name
DESCRIPTION
Reader presents the named paper on a 5620 terminal in a form designed
for readability, not for similarity to the printed version. The name
is a pathname for a manuscript in the papers(7) database with any final
elided) or the name of a troff(1) input file. Mouse button 1 selects
subheads; button 3 moves forward (`more') or backward (`less'). The
program exits completely on button 2, or tentatively (to avoid down-
loading upon reexecution) on button 3 (`done').
When the text in a screen overlaps text in a previous screen, a tick
mark in the bar (not a scroll bar) at the left of the screen shows
where new material begins.
Fully installed papers in the database, which appear as directories
suffixed have been preprocessed so that reader can present figures and
complex equations. In troff input, it understands straightforward text
and eqn(1), the macro packages ms(6), mm, and me, but cannot handle ar-
bitrary motions such as appear in figures and complex equations.

BUGS
Button 1 knows only already-read subheads unless the paper has been
preprocessed.
Reader can only handle papers written in troff with standard (-ms, -mm,
-me) macro packages.
