| If you are using the old troff, the PostScript output file needs to be hand

The "psroff" package that I shipped to comp.sources.unix a while back
(and patches in comp.sources.bugs) will do inclusions in any of the
three output formats (ditroff ("dt"), HPLJ ("lj"), and postscript ("ps")).

Eg:

	.sR "I<my file name>"

will pick up "my filename" (with .ps or .dt or .lj appended as appropriate)
