I apologize for messing up posting this summary before. I must learn not
rush when I post ... I didn't include the summary file as intended.

Here we go again...

Many thanks to all those who made suggestions on how to get PostScript
versions of man pages.

Briefly, the suggestions were...

  Commercial...
     NeWSPrint .. with pl
     ptroff from Adobe's TranScript
     Answerbook

  Public domain...
     groff
     ptroff
     tgrind
     thack
     troff2ps

I ftp'd thack, it was one of the first suggestions to arrive, and
installed it. Works beautifully...one happy camper here.

Thanks for the advice all.
