The book I learned writing networking code from, Steven's "Unix Network Programming" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_Network_Programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_Network_Programming) was typeset in troff. The first edition (1990) at least. The later ones aren't I think. Stevens passed away in 1999.
I recall coming across many other books which mentioned "troff" in the introduction back then.
- srvmshr 5y ago"The Unix Programming Environment" & "The C programming language" (K & R) were also written in troff.
- macintux 5y agoHard to believe it’s been that long since he passed. Was quite the blow. I was pleasantly surprised to find he wrote a Forth primer for Kitt Peak observatory. Linked from this page: http://www.forth.org/tutorials.html http://www.forth.org/tutorials.html
