+<para>The following changes have been made to the <filename>params</filename> since the 1.74.0 release.</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem>
+<para>The change was to add man.output.better.ps.enabled parameter, with
+its default value set to zero.
+
+If the value of the man.output.better.ps.enabled parameter is
+non-zero, certain markup is embedded in each generated man page
+such that PostScript output from the man -Tps <tag>command</tag> for that
+page will include a number of enhancements designed to improve the
+quality of that output.
+
+If man.output.better.ps.enabled is zero (the default), no such
+markup is embedded in generated man pages, and no enhancements are
+included in the PostScript output generated from those man pages
+by the man -Tps <tag>command</tag>.
+
+WARNING: The enhancements provided by this parameter rely on
+features that are specific to groff (GNU troff) and that are not
+part of "classic" AT&T troff or any of its derivatives. Therefore,
+any man pages you generate with this parameter enabled will be
+readable only on systems on which the groff (GNU troff) program is
+installed, such as GNU/Linux systems. The pages will not not be
+readable on systems on with the classic troff (AT&T troff) <tag>command</tag>
+is installed.
+
+NOTE: The value of this parameter only affects PostScript output
+generated from the man <tag>command</tag>. It has no effect on output
+generated using the FO backend.
+
+<tag>TIP</tag>: You can generate PostScript output for any man page by
+running the following <tag>command</tag>:
+
+man FOO -Tps > FOO.ps
+
+You can then generate PDF output by running the following <tag>command</tag>:
+
+ps2pdf FOO.ps</para>
