>From the keyboard of greywolf at unisoft.UUCP (The Grey Wolf):
:I think he wants a troff output to go to a laser printer.  Unfortunately,
:most versions of troff are specific to a CAT phototypesetter.  I forget where
:we got it, but there's something out there called "psroff" (and a host of
:other assorted utilities) which will make things come out real nice on a
:laser printer.  

The hard part is you need "ditroff".  After that, you can use any of
several conversion utils to go from device independent troff to
postscript.  I tried psroff, but after it kept dumping core, I switched to
tpscript and have been happy ever since.

	I get so tired of utilities with arbitrary, undocumented,
	compiled-in limits.  Don't you?
