Run through device-independent "troff", that is; you can, with some
amount of effort, get it to work with "old troff", but it can't print
everything that it can if you have device-indepedent "troff". 
Allegedly, some people have gotten it to work with "groff"....

And you probably want to FTP patches 1 through 9 from
"emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu" and apply them, if you use the version of ATK
from the X11R4 tape.
