How can I produce PostScript versions of the man pages?
Paul DuBois wrote on mklinux-misc:
 
I'm not at my MkLinux machine right now, so this is approximate.
What I do is find the page in the manpage hierarchy (/usr/man? /usr/share/man?)
then run:
 
        groff -Tps -man manpagefile > /tmp/junk.ps
 
I forget if the MkLinux manpages are compressed.  If so, then the command
is something like:
 
        zcat manpagefile | groff -Tps -man > /tmp/junk.ps
 
Use (g)tbl if necessary...
