Please forgive if this has been asked before.

I am looking for a package to convert nroff documents to postscript for printing
on a LaserWriter IINTX.   I am interested mainly in printing UNIX manual pages.

I have tried things like "nroff -man whatever.l | text2ps > whatever.ps" but
the results are not quite acceptable. "text2ps" is a simple text to postscript
converter; I have also tried the "lwf" program.

Any help/pointers/suggestions will be very much appreciated.  Reply by mail
will be fine unless you think it would be of general interest.

Thank you.
Jim Miller
