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?).
Anyway, groff is supposed to be a full troff implementation with
PostScript output right?
