Yes!  Tremendous macro file this one.  Although I don’t remember
exactly why I used postscript but I think it is because I compiled in
the default Debian WSL on MS Windows without an admin account.  By
default Debian does not include the full groff package and thus you
cannot output to PDF, only to PS.
