Extract of something I posted to comp.unix.xenix a couple of days ago:

	2) If you have a postscript printer, obtain ditroff and a copy
	   of tpscript (from comp.sources.unix archives, issues v15i013-017
	   I think).  tpscript is a PD ditroff->postscript converter.
	   tpscript is an *excellent* package and works *very* well.

Eg: if you need ditroff->postcript, get tpscript.  If you need old CAT troff
to postscript, wait a bit - it's coming in comp.sources.unix.
