- Thanks to everyone who helped with my man page -> PostScript problem. Part of
- the
- trouble was that our version of pscat only works with versions of troff
- older than the one we now have installed. I've solved the problem with a
- combination of a script that locates man pages (provided courtesy of Lief
- Jensen), ptroff, and a script I wrote that adds a PostScript statusdict to
- the PostScripted man page. So we now can get nicely formatted man pages,
- printed on both sides of the page. I thank you and the trees thank you.
