The Network Information Center was at SRI, and they used the ARC NLS: Doug
Englebart's Augmentation Research Center oN-Line System [1] but I get the

Was there a particular set of macros used? custom macros? ms? or does raw
"nroff" have an easy way to produce those page headers and other things used in
RFCs?
