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. -Mike
