Is there an accessible PostScript to Troff converter?  I couldn't find
one in the usual places.

"PostScript to Troff"????  Are you sure you don't mean the other way
around?  Converting PostScript to troff would be nearly impossible for
most documents.  If you want troff to do PostScript you can get psroff
via anonymous ftp from gatekeeper.dec.com.  Another solution is to get
the GNU groff, which is a complete reimplementation of troff, tbl,
pic, eqn, etc.  It's a very nice package and available for anonymous
ftp from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu and anonymous uucp from osu-cis.
