NAME
tk - paginator for the Tektronix 4014
SYNOPSIS
tk [ -t ] [ -\c N ] [ -p\c L ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
The output of tk is intended for a Tektronix 4014 terminal. Tk arranges for 66 lines to fit on the screen, divides the screen into N columns, and contributes an eight space page offset in the (default) single-column case. Tabs, spaces, and backspaces are collected and plotted when necessary. Teletype Model 37 half- and reverse-line sequences are interpreted and plotted. At the end of each page tk waits for a newline (empty line) from the keyboard before continuing on to the next page. In this wait state, the command ! command will send the command to the shell.

The command line options are:

-t Don't wait between pages; for directing output into a file.

- N Divide the screen into N columns and wait after the last column.

-p L Set page length to L lines.
