I am very much surprised.  Delegations are in a2ps since 4.9.7 (but
you should upgrade, you know :).  What must happen is that you didn't
have the psutils installed so your a2ps can't handle PS files.

But anyway, it seemed to me that zsh is supporting more recent a2pses
than older, which seems better to me anyway.  There are still a few
people running 4.10.{3,4}, I just discovered people using 4.10.1 ;),
but most people are running a recent version.  

If you still *need* a switch, you can depend upon:

But seriously, you don't need this.
