+heirloom-doctools (classic implementation of the troff tools)
+
+The Heirloom Documentation Tools package provides troff, nroff, and
+related utilities to format manual pages and other documents for
+output on terminals and printers. They are portable and enhanced
+versions of the utilities released by Sun as part of OpenSolaris,
+which are a variant of ditroff, which, in turn, descends to the
+historical Unix troff that generated output for the C/A/T
+phototypesetter.
+
+Tarball / CVS version:
+This SlackBuild can be used for the tarball-version, but also for
+a cvs checkout version. To use the cvs version use:
+
+$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@heirloom.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/heirloom login
+CVS password:<just type return>
+$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@heirloom.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/heirloom co -P heirloom-doctools
+
+in this directory and call the SlackBuild with
+VERSION=latest ./heirloom-doctools.SlackBuild
+
+Path settings:
+The files get installed into /opt/heirloom . The included
+/etc/profile.d/heirloom.sh script sets the PATH to include this
+directory _in front of_ the usual paths, so that troff points
+to the heirloom version, not the gnu version. To enable this
+behaviour, make the heirloom.sh script executable.
