|When I do a make in /usr/share/doc/smm/02.config, it says:

|tbl: illegal option -- P
|usage: tbl [ -vC ] [ files... ]
|usage: troff -abivzCE -wname -Wname -dcstring -mname -nN -olist -rcN
|	   -Tname -Fdir -Mdir -Hfile [ files ]
|*** Error code 1

I would leave out the -Pps option for tbl.
If you want troff (gtroff) to produce postscript output,
then the option should be -Tps.
