- I have been doing it for quite a while now. Lots of examples are available
- in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Program Guide. The troff sources are
- available at ftp.coe.montana.edu. Start with the sttng.hdr file. Because
- I have to place the imported PostScript where I want it, I can't use the
- PostScript inclusion that is available with groff, since it places it
- centered on the page, under the current line. So, I do things a little
- different, using the ps: exec capabilites of groff.

- Check it out.
