    I've created a patch which adds support for troff "-ms" output to · 4a5cda7b
    Bruce Momjian authored
    psql.  i.e. "\pset format troff-ms".  The patch also corrects some
    problems with the "latex" format, notably defining an extra column in
    the output table, and correcting some alignment issues; it also
    changes the output to match the border setting as documented in the
    manual page and as shown with the "aligned" format.
    
    The troff-ms output is mostly identical to the latex output allowing
    for the differences between the two typesetters.
    
    The output should be saved in a file and piped as follows:
    
      cat file | tbl | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
    or
      tbl file | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
    
    Because it contains tabs, you'll need to redirect psql output or use
    "script", rather than pasting from a terminal window, due to the tabs
    which can be replaced with spaces.
