I want to use troff more often. To ease  it  for  smaller  tasks,
I've written a script `ms2pdf', which does the formating:

     #!/bin/sh

     if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
             echo "Usage: ${0%%*/} foo.ms" >&2
             exit 1
     fi

     export TROFFONTS=/home/meillo/fonts/
     pdfopts="-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress"

     troff -ms "$1" | dpost | ps2pdf $pdfopts - "${1%%.ms}.pdf"

The part still missing is a set of  personalized  macros  for  my
various needs.
