To format a file using groff, with postscript as the intended output 
format, I use 'groff sourcefile > sourcefile.ps'.

If I have included tbl commands inthe sourcefile, I include the -t flag, 
and if it needs the mm macros, I use the -mm flag.  The -Tps is not 
needed, because postscript is the default output format for groff.  If 
I'm trying to generate ascii, I use the -Tascii flag.
