+.SH NAME
+ditroff \- classical device independent roff

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
+.
+The name
+.I ditroff
+once marked a development level of the
+.I troff
+text processing system.
+In actual
+.BR roff (@MAN7EXT@)
+systems, the name
+.I troff
+is used as a synonym for
+.IR ditroff .
+.
+.P
+The first roff system was written by Joe Osanna around 1973.
+It supported only two output devices, the
+.B nroff
+program produced text oriented tty output, while the
+.B troff
+program generated graphical output for exactly one output device, the
+.I Graphic Systems CAT
+typesetter.
+.
+.P
+In 1979, Brian Kernighan rewrote troff to support more devices by
+creating an intermediate output format for troff that can be fed into
+postprocessor programs which actually do the printout on the device.
+Kernighan's version marks what is known as 
+.I classical troff
+today.
+In order to distinguish it from Osanna's original mono-device version,
+it was called
+.I ditroff
+.RI ( d\/ evice\  i\/ ndependent\  troff )
+on some systems, though this naming isn't mentioned in the classical
+documentation.
+.
+.P
+Today, any existing roff system is based on Kernighan's multi-device
+troff.
+The distinction between
+.I troff
+and 
+.I ditroff
+isn't necessary any longer, for each modern
+.I troff
+provides already the complete functionality of
+.IR ditroff .
+On most systems, the name
+.I troff
+is used to denote
+.IR ditroff .
+.
+.P
+The easiest way to use ditroff is the GNU roff system,
+.IR groff .
+The
+.BR groff (@MAN1EXT@)
+program is a wrapper around
+.I (di)troff
+that automatically handles postprocessing.
