This is correct.

This is correct also.

What is `text output'?

What is the `bad PS part'? I have again difficulties to understand.
Please reformulate.
Option -Z just prevents the call of the postprocessor. It does *not*
select the output device for which troff produces output. If you want
intermediate output which is specially formatted for gxditview, you
must say
groff -TX75 -Z
for example. In `groff -V -Z' you only see the `-Tps' because it is
the default output device.
