[comp.sys.sun] troff to PostScript: how?

CAMPBELL@UTOROCI.bitnet (09/19/90)

How can I get troff output on a PostScript laser printer? Sure, I do troff
-t | lpr -t, but where do I get the troff-to-PS filter - preferably PD
(natch).  How else is troff useful without a real C/A/T typesetter?

Several programs translate from old troff output to Postscript.  The
simplest one, which is free, is 'thack'.  It's in the Rice archive:
