I went to try to port transcript to the IBM Risc System 6000, AIX3.1,
in order to have troff support to our PostScript laser printers.  It
turns out that AIX's troff command behaves somewhat differently than
the SUNOS (bsd?) troff -- it looks in /usr/lib/font for a dev* subdirectory
where the subdirectory is defined by the -T.  Has anyone else attempted
to port transcript and created the appropriate files for such a directory?

Are there other (public domain) PostScript printing options in which a
troff to PostScript command exists?

Thanks.  --Tim
