What advantages are there in learning troff or Tex?  Aren't their days
numbered?  Everyone in the non-Unix world is using word processors.
Why aren't Unix people?  I read in a book about Unix(that black
paperback book from Byte) that the major disadvantage in using a word
processor was that it couldn't handle large documents.  It seems to me
that this limitation has been overcome.
