I have tried all the logical (and some not so logical) ways to merge
a POSTSCRIPT file with a troff file.

I am using Transcipt 2.0 with ULTRIX-32 on a microvax. I do not have
ditroff available and thus cannot use psdit (as outlined in the Adobe
manual).

Since most of my documentation is in troff format, I want to be able to
include a Postscript file with the converted troff file (using ptroff)
when it gets sent to the printer.

This seems like something everyone must do all the time, but I can not
seem to find the magic combination that allows it.

Thanks for any help anyone can give, since I am new to this stuff.
