Scribe can generate files for various devices. Below are two common devices
used with scribe. To specify a device use:

	@device(DEVICE) 

where DEVICE is a device named below. The default device is PostScript.  When
a file is scribed, it generates a file which if formatted and can be printed
or viewed on screen. These files have a different suffix.  That is:

                scribe
    file.mss  -----------> file.device


 device   file suffix             description
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 file        .doc    generates plain text output (no choice of fonts)
                     without page breaks.  Can view the scribed file
                     with 'more file.doc'.

 lptln       .lpt    generates plain text output (no choice of fonts)
                     with page breaks for simple line printers.

 PostScript  .PS     generates postscript output which can only be printed on
                     PostScript (ln03R) printers. With PostScript you can
                     use various fonts and sizes and even include graphics
                     into your document. These files are viewable on screen by
                     '/mit/athenadoc/viewdoc file.PS' (first attach athenadoc).
