While technically you're correct, it's not exactly pointless. Groff supports output to formats other than PS, and it would be nice to have groff do the right thing (for the selected output format) behind the scenes. If nothing else, it would help keep things cleaner wrt source control. I suppose such would require unsafe mode, with all the issues that go with it. -- Larry
