On a related subject, I recently installed NetBSD 0.8 on a 486 machine and
am wondering if anyone has had any success building postscript versions of the
papers in the doc distribution (/usr/share/doc/*).  In the ps1 directory
the 04.pascal subdir is missing what are apparently some sample programs
so it won't build and on everything else I get an error:

make: don't know how to make all. Stop

So I put a line like this in each of the subdirectories:

all: paper.${PRINTER}

This then has the effect of producing the error:

troff: can't open `DESC'
troff: fatal error: sorry, I can't continue

Anybody have any hints on fixing this up, or even pointers to postscript
versions of the available papers? (Available for ftp or mail-server, etc.)
