(1) The postscript output option (-T ps) puts the stuff between .DS/.DE in variable-width font, although I would have expected fixed width font. Is there a way to cajole groff into considering .DS/.DE stuff to be fixed width font?
I haven't tried this, but it should work -- put it at the beginning of your file and see if it works:
.rn DS DS-orig .rn DE DE-orig .de DS .CW .DS-orig .. .de DE .DE-orig .R ..
That will set everything between *each* DS & DE in Courier, hope that's what you wanted.
(2) Is there a way to generate tex or latex output from groff?
I suppose, but why would you want to? :-P
Seriously, your best bet would probably be to use groff -Thtml (instead of -Tps) to produce HTML output, run it through Tidy to clean it up a bit (I'd use "tidy -asxml" but plain tidy might work too), then convert that to *TeX. Google for "html to latex" (use the quotes for a change!) to find some possible utilities. You could also use doclifter to transform to DocBook then transform that to *TeX, but you'd probably have to do some manual cleanup after each transformation.
Hope that helps.... -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t Unix Text Processing: "UTP Revival" http://home.alltel.net/kollar/utp/
