I think we called it troff, because that's what it was. Brian might
remember if it was ever used widely with the prefix. I don't think it was,
within 1127. That spelling doesn't appear anywhere in the Research Unix
manuals for v8, v9, or v10.

Hi Rob,
nroff: enn-roff (because it was the descendant of
roff)
troff: tee-roff
One I've wondered about for a long time is ditroff.
What was that?
1. die-tee-roff
2. dee-eye-tee-roff
3. ditt-roff
4. die-troff
5. Something else...
