+	RUNOFF is an EMACS macro
+which facilitates managing text processing of large
+text documents with multiple files.  It is built
+upon the /TEXT option of the @ program (see INFO).
+If you have an lrec file for your large text 
+document then 
+
+MM Runoff luser;thesis lrec
+
+will run through all the files in the lrec and for
+each compare the creation date of the XGP version
+(which need no longer be online) with the current
+">" version.  A list of :R commands will be accumulated
+for all files that have changed since the last
+time they were R'ed.  You will then be asked whether
+you want to XXFILE the commands to re-R the 
+appropriate files and then @ the whole mess to
+get update pages on the XGP.  The TTY record
+from XXFILE (containing e.g. error messages from R)
+will be found in the file "LUSER;THESIS XXXOUT".
+
+To obtain this macro MM LoadAI:EMACS;RUNOFF .
+
+P.S. If you use TJ6 or PUB, you can use this macro
+too!  The variable Runoff Command Template
+holds the :R command into which the file names
+are substituted.  You can make your own for other
+text processors.
