Well, that was a month ago.  I tried it again today, and it didn't
work.  I can no longer find any refererence to nroff or PostScript in
the makefiles in /usr/share/mk.  Has something changed?  I'm not that
interested in creating nroff output, but I would like to be able to
create PostScript.  Any suggestions?
