Bernd,

It's nice to have papers about RUNOFF and its descendants
all in one place.  Between runoff and troff came roff,
first for Multics, which was essentially a rewrite of 
RUNOFF, then an expanded version for GECOS at Bell Labs,
written first in BCPL, then reimplemented for Unix, and
eventually superseded by nroff and troff. I have documentation
for the BCPL version, if that would be of interest.

Doug
