|Absolutely right, so scratch my psroff idea. Here is exactly what AIX
|3.1 troff supports, according to info:

|                IBM 3812 Pageprinter II
|                IBM 3816 Pageprinter
|                Hewlett Packard LaserJet II with K cartridge
                
|I couldn't find any mention of the PostScript requested in the
|original post and have no idea of what the "K cartridge" is (special
|fonts?).

If I recall correctly, the K cartridge contains a bold and italic plus
some line printer fonts.  That's what psroff's predecessor "lcat" needed.

To generate Postscript from ditroff, you want either tpscript (c.s.u
a few years back) or Transcript from Adobe.  (Though, I might just
have psroff working with ditroff input too in the not-to-distant future.
Perhaps I should change the name then to "troffs-R-us" ;-)
