It's not apparent to me why you'd want to.  vim1.gz is compressed.
Uncompress and it should become vim.1.

Run groff -man vim.1 and you should get a PostScript file.  Why
not print that?  I see no value in going to LaTex, but then I've
never used it either.

refers to my autocratic management style. :-) )
