Subject: I've created a patch which adds support for troff "-ms" output to
 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.
