My jest was always that there was only one person who truly understood troff and he was dead. -----Original Message----- From: TUHS [mailto:tuhs-bounces@minnie.tuhs.org] On Behalf Of Dave Horsfall Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2016 5:15 PM To: The Eunuchs Hysterical Society Subject: [TUHS] RIP J.F.Ossanna We lost J.F.Ossanna in 1977; he had a hand in developing Unix, and was responsible for "roff" and its descendants. Remember him, the next time you see "jfo" in documentation. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
