		It was dubbed troff, for typesetter 'roff', although many people have speculated that it actually means Times 'roff' because of the use of the Times Roman font family in troff by default.
		Unfortunately, Ossanna's troff was written in PDP-11 assembly language and produced output specifically for the CAT phototypesetter.
		He rewrote it in C, although it was now 7000 lines of uncommented code and still dependent on the CAT.

		At some point, probably in early 1977, we had a fairly extensive briefing on it--several of the designers traveled to Murray Hill and spent the whole day here.
		Joe Ossanna took extensive and careful notes on the visit, and I wrote them up in machine readable form; I still have the whole original file.
		The file-system date is 11 Feb 1978, but it must have been copied or edited a bit after its creation; it was clearly written before the introduction of the VAX line in October 1977, but also after work began on the Interdata 8/32 project in early 1977.

	Unix History
		The Bell Labs staff involved with MULTICS, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, M. Mcllroy, and Joe Ossanna, saw great value in the communal environment enabled by a multi-user computer system, and started looking for a way to preserve the capability.
		They put in a number of proposals to buy a new computer of their own, including a DEC PDP-10, SDS Sigma 7, and KI-10, but all were too expensive and not approved.
		After learning how to program the PDP-7, Thompson, Ritchie, Ossanna, and Canaday began to program the operating system that was designed earlier.

		So a talented AT&T programmer, Joe Ossanna, sat down and invented the troff typesetting system in one month flat, in 1973, using PDP-11 assembly language and hard-wiring it to drive the Graphic Systems CAT typesetter.
		It was re-written in C in 1975, and in 1977 Ossanna was talking about re-writing it so that its macros were more human-friendly.
		Then, in a tragic accident that cast a horrible blight over the working life of thousands of authors and typesetters, Ossanna was run over and killed by a car.

		Ritchie, Thompson, and Joe Ossanna--all Multics veterans--had tried several times to convince BTL to purchase a computer for the company's computing research group.
		Ossanna then suggested the purchase of a PDP-11/20 for a text-preparation project, in part because the administration at BTL regarded text processing as something useful.
		As a result of the PDP-7 development efforts to date (and confidence in the value of the text-processing system to be developed), Max Mathews, director of acoustics research, agreed to chip in seed money for a system.

	The History of troff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Troff was originally written by the late Joe Ossanna in about 1973, in assembly language for the PDP-11, to drive the Graphic Systems CAT typesetter.
		It was McIlroy's version that first Joe Ossanna and, after his death, Brian Kernighan turned into the troff we still use.
		All of this led to the design (a predecessor of style sheets) that emphasized structural descriptions (like.P or.H level), whose appearance was easily changed by a few parameters.

	Multics Features
		The command processor launches it by just finding the segment joe, adding it to the user process's address space, and jumping to the entrypoint.
		The system linkage fault handler searches for a file named fred, adds it to the address space and fixes the linkage to go fast next time (by changing a Fault Tag 2 indirect word to an ITS pair), and continues the faulting instruction.
		Ken Thompson wrote a version of QED in BCPL, and Joe Ossanna wrote Multics runoff in BCPL.

		Special commands, which were not part of the text, could be inserted to control matters such as justification, that is, alignment of text on the right, as in a book, as well as on the left.
		The Typeset/Runoff system inspired a group of researchers at Bell Laboratories, leading to Joe Ossanna’s NROFF (new runoff) program.
		A “macro” capability was added to allow repetitive formatting concepts, such as section headers or indented paragraphs, to be defined once and used easily many times.

		And thus the operating system we now call UNIX was born," notes Ritchie.(32) Among the other active contributors during this period were Bell Labs researchers Rudd Canady and Joe Ossanna.
		And Joe Ossanna actually wrote some elaborate IO switching for Multics, though I don't think it ever caught on.
		I had been much taken by Conway's idea of coroutines, which was published (in CACM?) around 1963, and was brought to high development by Dahl in Simula.

		An executive summary is that Bell Labs, G.E. and M.I.T. had been partners in the development of Multics, a pioneering timesharing system, but it wasn't working out, so Bell Labs withdrew from the Multics effort.
		Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Doug McIlroy and Joe Ossanna, among others, wanted a replacement for the comfy environment they had had on Multics.
		I should also add," he explains, "that Doug McIlroy was tremendously influential on their thinking."(Vyssotsky, pg.60) Vyssotsky elaborates, "I don't think that Doug actually contributed much of the programming, but for example, the appearance of pipes in UNIX was clearly a result of Doug's discussions with Ken and Dennis."
