does it look bad with proof?  if so, this is generally
because of font problems.  i cribbed this from someone
and used it for the diskless fs and nupas papers.
you might not have a macros.ms; they're optional.

TARG=nupas.ps nupas.pdf

all:V: $TARG

%.ps:DQ:	%.ms
	eval `{doctype macros.ms $stem.ms} | \
	lp -m.9 -dstdout >$target

%.pdf:DQ: %.ps
	cat /sys/doc/docfonts $stem.ps >_$stem.ps
	ps2pdf _$stem.ps $stem.pdf && rm -f _$stem.ps

%.show:VQ:	%.ps
	page -w $stem.ps
