Correction: neither psroff or tpscript generate Postscript output from troff
source.  They produce postscript output from troff *output* (psroff can also
generate laserjet and ditroff for ditroff filters).

(BTW: psroff works ONLY with CAT troff, tpscript works ONLY with ditroff.
Psroff 3.0 will work with real ditroff too)

Please don't use the version of psroff in the comp.sources.unix archives.
It's obsolete.  /pub/psroff on uunet is up-to-date (psroff 2.0, PL7)

F'r sure.  (I wrote it, I should know ;-)

(I've mailed the psroff info package off to Sanju separately)
