-This document describes the
-.B groff
-program, the main front end for the
 .I groff
+is the primary front end to the GNU
+.I roff
 document formatting system.
 .
 The
 .I groff
-program and macro suite is the implementation of a
-.BR roff (@MAN7EXT@)
-system within the free software collection
-.UR http://\:www\:.gnu\:.org/
-GNU
-.UE .
-.
-The
-.I groff
-system has all features of the classical
-.IR roff ,
-but adds many extensions.
-.
-.
-.P
-The
-.B groff
-program allows control of the whole
-.I groff
-system by command-line options.
-.
-This is a great simplification in comparison to the classical case
-(which uses pipes only).
+command orchestrates the execution of preprocessors,
+the loading of macro packages,
+the formatting of input documents,
+and the production of output appropriate to a variety of hardware
+devices and file formats.
