You might want to try the freeware psroff (version 2.0) utility to
turn [tn]roff files into PostScript or LaserJet output... I haven't
used it on AIX 3.1, but earlier versions worked nicely on other
systems that I tried it on. The source was posted recently to
alt.sources and is available by anonymous ftp (sites posted to
comp.archives earlier this week).
