GCAL

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
GCAL

   <text, tool> The Cambridge {Phoenix} equivalent of {troff}.
   So called because all Cambridge utilities were named after
   birds, GCAL was a "run off" equivalent, and Geococcyx
   californianus is the Latin name of the roadrunner.  GCAL was
   eventually obsoleted by {TeX}.

   It is believed that even more obscure puns lurked in the
   depths of Phoenix.  Perhaps it is better they stayed there.
