+.SH "NAME"
+colcrt \- filter nroff output for CRT previewing
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+\fBcolcrt\fP [options] [\fIfile\fP ...]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+\fBcolcrt\fP provides virtual half\-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is destructive. Half\-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `\-\(aq) are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.sp
+\fB\-\fP, \fB\-\-no\-underlining\fP
+.RS 4
+Suppress all underlining. This option is especially useful for previewing \fIallboxed\fP tables from \fBtbl\fP(1).
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-2\fP, \fB\-\-half\-lines\fP
+.RS 4
+Causes all half\-lines to be printed, effectively double spacing the output. Normally, a minimal space output format is used which will suppress empty lines. The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however. The \fB\-2\fP option is useful for sending output to the line printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be partially invisible.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP
+.RS 4
+Display help text and exit.
+.RE
+.sp
+\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP
+.RS 4
+Print version and exit.
+.RE
+.SH "HISTORY"
+.sp
+The \fBcolcrt\fP command appeared in 3.0BSD.
+.SH "BUGS"
+.sp
+Should fold underlines onto blanks even with the \fB\-\fP option so that a true underline character would show.
+.sp
+Can\(cqt back up more than 102 lines.
+.sp
+General overstriking is lost; as a special case \(aq|\(aq overstruck with \(aq\-\(aq or underline becomes \(aq+\(aq.
+.sp
+Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.
+.sp
+Some provision should be made for processing superscripts and subscripts in documents which are already double\-spaced.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"

+A typical use of \fBcolcrt\fP would be:
