Hah!  For the uninitiated, that means you have a WANG CAT phototypesetter
(which must mean you work at the Smithsonian ;-), and god help us, it's
available for use!  You *don't* need psroff (a Wang serviceman perhaps. ;-)

As a person who's been inside UNIX for almost 16 years (gawd!) that's
something I've *never* seen...
