		   upon receipt of a new line.

       -mname	   Prepend the macro file to the input files.

       -raN	   Set register a (one-character) to N.

		   ration Model 37 terminal.

       -e	   Produce equally-spaced words in adjusted lines, using full terminal resolution.

       -h	   Use	output	tabs  during horizontal spacing to speed output and reduce output character count.  Tab settings are assumed to be
		   every 8 nominal character widths.

Files
       /tmp/ta* 	     temporary file
       /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.*  standard macro files
       /usr/lib/term/*	     terminal driving tables for
