I have been doing it for quite a while now. Lots of examples are available
in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Program Guide. The troff sources are
available at ftp.coe.montana.edu. Start with the sttng.hdr file. Because
I have to place the imported PostScript where I want it, I can't use the
PostScript inclusion that is available with groff, since it places it
centered on the page, under the current line. So, I do things a little
different, using the ps: exec capabilites of groff.
Check it out.
