Hello, world!
produces a big font text, but on A4 page,
as viewed in 'page'
bbox is wrong, in foo.ps after running
troff -ms foo | dpost | foo.ps
How can I change the default paper size?
Any hint appreciated,
cheers,
++pac.

For viewing with page, the simplest way is to add a line of the form
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 w h
where the width and height are in pixels (multiply by 72) before the
second line of the PostScript output (dpost) and give page the -b
option.
