2 A Newspaper for Gopher |
|

11 Rather than a continuous feed of upmost shocking headlines, |

|
14 .PP |
|
15 Paper newspapers go through a long chain: reporters, photographers, |
|

|
17 carriers and other supportive technicians... and are sold for a quarter. |
|

|
19 The web considerably shackled the landscape: the high speed of computers |
|

|
21 announcements to publication is below a few hours. |
|
22 .PP |
|
23 This journal diverts the present norm by 90° by using \fCtroff(1)\fR |
|
24 as its foundation: a \fItypesetter\fR producing static documents ready |
|
25 to be printed. |
