Some items that I am wishing for (ie: has anyone heard of these?)

1) somesort of troff preprocessor that will allow postscript to
coexist in a document, some sort of

	.SP
		postscript here
	.EP

that would figure out how large the postscript picsture would be leave
the room in the troff doc for it, and then include the postscript source
in its output (this is assumeing that postscript is the output language)
of course changes would have to be made in the adobe postscript
post filters for all this to work.

2) a troff output viewing program under suntools.
