While "psroff -t" does indeed work with 3005, with ditroff "-t" seems
unnecessary unless I am missing it's function as it normally outputs
to stdout anyway which is why you need to use "troff -Tibm3812 -man
xwd.man|ibm3812|enq" to print to an IBM 3812 printer (enq to actually
send it to the printer), for instance...  Just try "troff filename"
and see what comes out...
